Local people CAN now use Plas Madoc, says council

Llangollen people can now officially use Plas Madoc tip, says Denbighshire County Council. 

Ever since the town lost its own refuse site at Wenffrwd years ago and Wrexham banned Llangollen people from using Plas Madoc, they have been faced with a 32-mile round trip to the nearest Denbighshire tip in Ruthin. 

The alternative has been to use the temporary ‘pop-up’ recycling facility set up for a few hours on the Pavilion car park on Saturday mornings but even this was halted during the Covid lockdowns.   

Over a thousand people signed a petition, organised by campaigner Phil Jones, demanding that Llangollen should have a more convenient recycling facility. And the question became a campaign issue at the last county council election. 

Last year Denbighshire negotiated a deal with Wrexham enabling Llangollen people to use Plas Madoc from October. But various problems stood in the way of the agreement being put into action.

Although some people have been able to use the tip for the past few months, others have been turned away.

But Denbighshire now says Llangollen people can start to use the tip immediately.

In an official statement to llanblogger earlier today (Monday) a council spokesperson said: “Appointments at Plas Madoc are now available for Llangollen residents daily from today 18th March.”
