Bridgend's household recycling centres are licensed for household waste only. Commercial waste, including garden waste from paid jobs, cannot go to any of them.

  • The council sells a trade waste collection service, with 360, 660 and 1100 litre bins or trade sacks. Call the council on 01656 643643 to set up a collection.
  • Keep waste transfer notes, or your collector's waste carrier licence, for at least two years.
  • Without that paperwork, a business can face a £5,000 fine or a £300 fixed penalty notice.
  • If you carry waste yourself, register with Natural Resources Wales as a waste carrier. Lower tier is free, and upper tier costs £184.
  • Welsh workplaces must also separate recycling such as glass, metals and plastic.
