Council dumps Saturday pop-up recycling facility at Pavilion

Denbighshire County Council will cease to operate the Saturday pop-up recycling service at Llangollen Pavilion with immediate effect. 

In a statement issued on its website earlier today (Friday) the council says: "This temporary service has been running every second and fourth Saturday of each month to enable residents to dispose of recycling, non-recyclable waste, and garden waste. 

"Residents can now book to visit any of the recycling centres in Denbighshire and Conwy and there is an additional service specifically to assist residents from Llangollen and the surrounding area at the Plas Madoc Recycling Centre in Wrexham.

"This site is more convenient to Llangollen residents and has slots available seven days a week.

"Residents can book an appointment to visit a recycling centre via our website, or by phoning us on 01824 706000.

"It was always the plan to cease operating the Llangollen Saturday service once the agreement was in place for residents to use the Plas Madoc site. The council has kept the Saturday service in place as a short-term temporary measure to ensure the arrangement with Plas Madoc is working.

"Anyone who has a future booking to use the Saturday service at Llangollen Pavilion have been informed that they will need to make alternative arrangements."
