A brand new dedicated recycling centre is set to open to meet the needs of Cynon Valley residents. The centre has been funded through grants from the Heads of the Valleys, Welsh Assembly Government and the council.
The new centre will be located a few hundred yards away from the existing Bryn Pica landfill site in Llwydcoed (on the former Parle Skip Hire site) and will result in improved access for residents as they will no longer need to wait for queuing lorries unloading at the tip.
The new facilities will cater for all recycling needs, including white goods, cardboard, clothing, plastics, light fittings, wood, glass, metal, engine oil, fluorescent tubes, plasterboards, old toys, paint, tyres, old tv’s and lots more. There will also be a reuse store so that anything which is reusable can be and this will dovetail into the new WAG Sector Plans for reuse.
The new centre is manned, like all sites across the County Borough and the attendants are happy to advise residents on recycling and assist them in disposing of their household material.
The centre will be open Monday – Sunday 8:00 to 19:30 from April – October and Monday – Sunday 8:00 to 17:30 from November – March.
Councillor Anthony Christopher, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Frontline Services, said: “This new centre will make recycling easier for Cynon Valley residents as the site is dedicated to their needs and based on our awarding wining Ty Glantaf site. They will no longer need to queue behind lorries before they can access the site and we have improved on the space available.
“The facilities on offer across Rhondda Cynon Taf mean there is no excuse not to recycle. From dedicated recycling centres to food and dry waste recycling from your door, Rhondda Cynon Taf Council has got it covered.”
