Households will soon receive their new red recycling bag.
The new bags will be used to collect plastics, tins, cans and cartons – with glass, bagged paper, textiles and batteries collected in your black recycling box.
The bags will be emptied weekly, alongside your black recycling box, blue cardboard bag and brown food waste caddy.
You are asked to start using your red bag as soon as you receive it.
As well as your new bag, you will also receive a leaflet explaining what to put in the red recycling bag, and a guide to household recycling in Torfaen.
Over the next two weeks, the council’s recycling team will be holding information sessions at the following locations for anyone with questions about the new bags:
