Vale of Glamorgan: Soft plastic collections start from Mon 13th April across the Vale of Glamorgan


Vale of Glamorgan Council:

A quick reminder that our soft plastics recycling collection service has now launched across Barry and the rural Vale

You should already have received:

  • A roll of blue bags for your soft plastics
  • An information leaflet explaining what can and cannot be recycled
If you live in Barry or the Rural Vale and haven’t received your bags yet, please let us know via our online form

For residents in Penarth, Dinas Powys and surrounding areas who took part in the pilot:

During April and May, we’ll be delivering your next roll of sacks.

From 2027, all households will have one roll delivered per year. You’ll also be able to pick up additional rolls from local libraries and Civic Offices if needed.

We've explored a range of options but as the rolls are larger than standard food caddy liners, we’re unable to carry them on collection vehicles for ad hoc requests.

Thank you for all your recycling efforts.
