• Paper and card
• Glass
• Metals cans
• Plastic bottles
• Cartons and other similar packaging
• Unsold small electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)

Businesses have a legal duty to dispose of waste and recycling using a registered waste carrier.

The council provides a commercial recycling service. For information, contact Torfaen Business Direct on 01633 648735 or email businessdirect@torfaen.gov.uk
