Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Wrexham Council announced the return of Bank Holiday Monday bin and recycling collections from 31 August 2026. It said the previous arrangements caused confusion, overflowing bins and complaints when Monday households went without a collection that week. The change was intended to improve reliability and recycling participation.
In July 2026, a waste company argued that high bulky-waste charges could contribute to fly-tipping. Councillor David Bithell defended the council’s charges as covering costs, pointing out that its collection includes up to eight items, rather than the three offered by many authorities.
