Can I put bagged garden waste in my garden waste bin?

No, the crew will not empty a bin holding bagged garden waste. Tip everything in loose and keep the lid shut. Crews also leave bins that overflow or are too heavy.7

Where can a gardener take green waste from Llanelli jobs?

Not to Trostre, because council centres refuse business waste. Nantycaws Transfer Station near Carmarthen accepts it, and charges are likely. A gardener carrying it also needs Natural Resources Wales waste carrier registration.10 12

Can I take a hired van to Trostre without a permit?

Yes, if you have hired the van for 3 days or less. Bring the vehicle hire document with you, along with proof of address.3 9
