Local information

Gardening in Cardiff East

Cardiff East covers eight city wards: Adamsdown, Plasnewydd, Penylan, Cyncoed, Pentwyn, Llanrumney, Rumney and Trowbridge. One of the city's two household tips, Lamby Way Recycling Centre, is inside the area in Rumney. That site alone takes tyres and UPVC windows, and it also hosts The Cabin reuse shop. Garden waste is collected from bins or reusable sacks on alternate weeks right through the year, with crews working between 5am and 3.30pm, Tuesday to Friday.1 2 3 4 5
