🚨 Heads up, Merthyr Tydfil! 🚨
Got a fridge or freezer you need to get rid of? Well, hold onto it for now! Due to national restrictions on fridge processing, the council has hit pause on bulky waste collections for fridges, fridge freezers, and standalone freezers from 16th July until further notice.
But don’t worry if you’ve already scheduled a pickup—they’ll still honour those appointments! Otherwise, you can still take your items to Household Recycling Centres in Dowlais and Aberfan. Just remember, there’s a limit of one fridge (or similarly hefty appliance) per household to help manage space.
What about businesses? You’ll need to find alternative ways to dispose of these items while these processing restrictions are in place.
The council is doing its best to stay on top of things and might need to introduce more limits if storage gets too tight. They kindly suggest selling or donating working appliances instead of chucking them away—it’s a brilliant way to keep them in use, reduce waste, and ease the pressure on recycling sites! Check with your retailer when buying a new appliance—many offer a take-back service for your old one.
They’re sending a huge thanks to everyone in Merthyr Tydfil for being patient and understanding while they work through these challenges.
Stay tuned for updates and keep helping the planet by reusing, recycling, and reducing waste when possible! 🍃🌍
