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:
To help us cut down on landfill usage please call HOMEMAKERS on 01873 857618 to arrange a collection that will enable items to be used again. There may be a small charge for this service.
