Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council covers the communities of Abertillery, Blaina, Brynmawr, Ebbw Vale, Nantyglo and Tredegar in the South Wales Valleys. The council runs one of the less frequent general waste schedules in Wales — your black wheeled bin is collected only once every three weeks, so it is important to make full use of the recycling and food waste services to keep it from overfilling. Recycling is collected every week: put cans, plastic bottles and food tins into red bags, and paper and cardboard into blue bags, leaving them at the kerbside on your collection day.
A brown food caddy is also collected weekly for kitchen scraps including cooked and uncooked food — liners are available free from the council offices. Garden waste is collected fortnightly from March to November using green sacks, which are available free of charge from the council — no subscription is required. A weekly nappy and hygiene sack service is available on request for households with an eligible need.
Blaenau Gwent generally maintains its collection schedule on bank holidays, though the Christmas period may differ — check your personalised collection calendar on the council website for your exact dates. To report a missed collection, call Blaenau Gwent Council on 01495 311556 within 24 hours of your scheduled day. The council operates two Household Waste Recycling Centres: Waun-y-Pound Industrial Estate, Ebbw Vale, NP23 6PL (closed Thursday and Friday), and Roseheyworth Business Park, Abertillery, NP13 1SP (closed Tuesday and Wednesday).
