Local information

Gardening in Vale of Glamorgan

The Vale of Glamorgan constituency takes in Barry, Rhoose, St Athan, Llantwit Major and Cowbridge, along with the wards around Llandow, Wenvoe and Peterston-super-Ely. Both of the council's recycling centres are inside it: Barry on the Atlantic Trading Estate and Llandow on Gluepot Road. Each one is entry by appointment only. Garden waste collection is a paid subscription, and a half-year place for August to November 2026 costs £22.50. Soil, stones and logs go to the tip rather than the green bags.1 2 3
