Refuse - Special Collections

Do you have unwanted items that you would like disposed of?

Blaenau Gwent CBC offers not only the civic amenity sites at Silent Valley, Newvale and Bourneville, but we can also arrange to have unwanted items collected from your home.

These fall into 4 main categories:

a) Civic Waste would be collected on your bin day by an extra lorry, and include large items such as, 3 piece suites, beds, wardrobes, bags of unwanted items, carpets and bathroom, bedroom and kitchen furniture and fittings. These collections are limited to 3 large items or the equivalent of 12 bags per month, and items must be put at the bin point by 7am on the day of collection.

b) Green Waste collections include tree cuttings, grass cuttings, hedge cuttings, leaves etc. Bags with soil and/or stones are NOT considered green waste and should be booked in as a civic collection. Any tree branches should be cut down to maximum length of 5 ft. Maximum collection is 20 bags/bundles of waste. This collection is available every week and must be put at the bin point by 7am on the day of collection.

c) Fridge Freezers can be collected, a maximum of 2 per week. They must be placed at a prominent point in clear view of your address.

d) Electrical Items can be collected at a maximum of 2 large or 3 small items per week. These include items such as microwaves, T.Vs, washing machines, dishwashers, radios, toasters, VCRs etc. They must be placed at a prominent point in clear view of your address.
