Bank holiday bin collections for Newport, Caerphilly, Torfaen

Those who did not travel may have spent the long weekend enjoying food and drinks with family and friends.  

It may be the last thing you want to think of, but with bins filling up it is helpful to know when the bins are being collected. 

The bank holiday has seen some councils make changes to their regular bin collections or recycling centre opening hours.  

We looked at the collection days for the five local authorities across Gwent – and not much has changed.  

You can check your collection day by entering your postcode on the council run website  here. 

When do I need to put the bins out?

All but one of the five councils need residents to put their waste and recycling out by 7am on collection day.  

In Caerphilly residents are asked to put their waste and recycling out by 5.30am on collection day.
