Flintshire updates waste collection: black bins every three weeks, food waste weekly. Collection days may vary so check calendars.
Black bins, for stuff that can’t be recycled, get picked up every three weeks. This replaces the old two-week schedule. Food and recycling bins still get weekly attention.
Garden waste gets collected every other week. This happens from March to November, but you must register and pay. Nappy, hygiene, and medical waste pickup stays weekly too. You must register for this option as well.
They are stopping Saturday collections for recycling and regular trash. Your collection day might change because of this adjustment. You’ll soon get a letter confirming everything coming to your mailbox. The council will also give you a handy calendar.
This calendar highlights the new collection dates, so you know what is happening when.
If you reside in an apartment or shared house using shared bins, do not worry. They’ll work with you and your landlord on changes later.
They will send a letter before any changes. This letter will explain updates to collections affecting you directly. About ten percent of UK councils are changing collection to reach recycling goals. Our recycling habits reached over 62%. New goals require us to reach 70% recycled waste. It is a combined effort to reach this goal.
