Local information

Gardening in Caerphilly

The constituency stretches from Bedwas and Machen north to Ystrad Mynach, Nelson and the Aber Valley. All 16 wards belong to Caerphilly County Borough Council. Garden waste goes out weekly in sacks, alongside food waste, and the service normally runs all year. Four of the council's six recycling centres sit inside the area: Trehir, Penallta, Full Moon and Penmaen. Each one shuts on a different weekday, so check before loading the car.1 2 3 4 5
