Local information

Gardening in Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney

Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney joins the whole of Blaenau Gwent with the top of the Rhymney Valley. Fourteen wards, from Tredegar and Ebbw Vale to Brynmawr and Abertillery, belong to Blaenau Gwent council. Six more, including Rhymney, New Tredegar and Bargoed, are run by Caerphilly. The two councils treat garden waste very differently. Blaenau Gwent stops kerbside green collections for winter on 6 November 2026, while Caerphilly collects weekly all year.1 2 3

  • Ask the council on 01495 311556 before relying on it for green waste.
  • A waste carrier registration from Natural Resources Wales is required before you apply.
  • Caerphilly's Rhymney and Aberbargoed sites refuse commercial waste and sign-written vans outright.
