Kerbside Collection Scheme

image depicting Recycling Vehicle

Our kerbside collection scheme has expanded to include a number of items including glass, paper, cans, kitchen waste, garden waste, cardboard and plastics as well as household rubbish.

Image depicting Collection SearchNearly every house in Swansea receives a kerbside collection.  The items we collect will depend on where you live.  Remember to check our Recycling Collection Search to find out what we collect and on what days.

We have green bag collections for glass, paper and cans, pink bag collections for plastics, white (or green) cloth bags for garden waste and green bins for kitchen waste.  We also collect cardboard from the kerbside, and for £15 for three items we can collect your bulk waste.

We also run a specialist collection for people living in flats.  There is more information about this on our Recycling For Flats page.

The information on the following pages will help you take part in these schemes.  They also give information on what can be collected.

If you want to know more about Recycling in Swansea you can look at the information on our Recycling pages or contact the Recycling team on 01792 635600, or email recycling@swansea.gov.uk.
