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 is also an education section which includes more about me.

 

Thanks to residents in Torfaen, the county borough’s recycling rate is currently 37% – just three per cent short of the Welsh Assembly’s 2009 - 2010 target. The Council is currently in the top 25% of Welsh authorities for its recycling performance.
