Recycling, Rubbish and WasteWhy worry about waste?
The average household in Merthyr Tydfil throws away approximately one tonne of waste every year; this is the same weight as an average family saloon car!
Currently, the majority of this waste is buried in the landfill site. However, more than 80% of this waste could be recycled or composted.
Waste disposal costs money and threatens the future of our environment; less waste means more savings for you and the environment.
We can all help to reduce the ever growing waste mountain and safeguard the environment for future generations. Individually we can take positive steps to reduce the waste we produce. We can reuse or recycle items to make sure we do our bit to save natural resources and reduce our waste disposal costs.
Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council has developed a number of services to make this easier.
