Waste and tyre amnesty in Pencader

Residents in Pencader are being urged to take advantage of a one-off chance to dispose of any household waste they may have.
A waste and tyre amnesty is being held in Ysgol Cae’r Felin on Tuesday, February 16 between 8am and 1pm.
Most household waste can be taken along including unwanted furniture, carpets and mattresses, electrical items such as fridge-freezers and televisions, as well as black and blue bags.
A maximum of four tyres can also be disposed of; however, tractor or lorry tyres will not be accepted.
Hazardous waste such as paint, fluorescent tubes, batteries, chemicals, gas bottles and asbestos will not be accepted along with glass, garden waste, trade waste, construction waste and agricultural waste.
Residents can pick up a free bag of Merlin’s Magic Compost (while stocks last) courtesy of CWM Environmental Ltd.
Half-price compost bins will also be on sale for just £6 instead of the usual £12.
Executive Board Member for the Environment Cllr Hazel Evans said: “The aim of the amnesty is to help reduce fly-tipping and encourage people to recycle as much as possible.”
Residents are advised to please bring proof of address.
