Help Protect the People Behind the Service

Please never place syringes or other sharps in recycling bags.

Every day, our waste and recycling crews work hard to keep Merthyr Tydfil clean and tidy. Behind every collection vehicle is a person who is someone's dad, mam, son, daughter, partner or friend.

When syringes and other sharps are placed in recycling bags, they can cause serious needlestick injuries to the staff who collect and sort our recycling. A single item disposed of incorrectly can have a lasting impact on a worker and their family.

Please help protect the people who provide this essential service to our community by never placing syringes, needles or other sharps in recycling bags or recycling containers.

Sharps should always be disposed of safely through the correct collection service.

Together, we can help ensure our crews return home safely to their families at the end of every working day.
