Who collects what in Monmouthshire

Monmouthshire County Council is a single-tier council, so it runs bin collections, kerbside recycling, garden waste and the household waste recycling centres. Many Welsh councils ask you to sort recycling into separate boxes or bags at the kerb.

Bank holidays and Monmouthshire bin days

When a bank holiday lands on or before your collection day, Monmouthshire may collect as normal or move collections later in the week. These are the next bank holidays in England and Wales:

Christmas and New Year cause the biggest changes. See Christmas bin collections for what usually happens.

Recycling rules in Wales

Welsh councils have some of the highest household recycling rates in the world. Many collect recycling every week and ask households to sort materials into separate boxes, bags or caddies at the kerbside rather than mixing everything in one bin. General waste is often collected less often, and some councils limit how many black bags you can put out.
