Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is responsible for removing litter from pavements, streets and all council owned public land. Some litter can take years to degrade, causing significant harm to wildlife and habitats as well as lowering the aesthetic quality of areas.

The Council provides a regular collection of household rubbish from all residential premises within the borough. This section of our website has lots of information to help you make a difference to the waste you recycle in your home, including what containers to use, where to take your recycling and waste and how to arrange the disposal of larger items.
