If you live in Dinas Powys, Penarth, Llandough, Sully, or surrounding areas, you will be among the first in the UK to trial kerbside soft plastics recycling.

What you need to know:

How it works:

  • You will be able to recycle a range of soft plastics, including wrappings and bags – you can find a full breakdown of what can and cannot be recycled on the leaflet or on our website
  • Your blue sack containing your soft plastics should be tied and placed inside your blue plastic & metals recycling bag for collection on your usual collection day
  • Your soft plastics will be turned into new products like bags for life and bin bags at a UK facility
  • This Welsh Government-funded trial will run for nine months – we’ll update you on what happens next before it concludes
