Rubbish, Waste and Recycling

Dan Can the Super Recycler

Hi, I’m Dan Can the Super Recycler. Welcome to the Rubbish, Waste and Recycling area of the website. Here you will find information on a variety of topics including refuse collection, recycling, composting, commercial waste and van permits. There are also education and video sections which include more about me.

 

And you can now follow me on the social messaging website Twitter|.

 

Thanks to residents in Torfaen, the county borough's recycling rate is currently 45% - five per cent more than the Welsh Assembly's 2009 - 2010 target. The Council is the best performing recycling authority in South Wales.
