Some households in Pembrokeshire will have their refuse collected on a different day and time, from Monday 21 November onwards.

The changes are due to the introduction of new collection schedules by Pembrokeshire County Council.

Household refuse lorries are set to operate in new zones across the County, creating a more cost-effective and efficient waste collection service.

Every home in the County will receive an information leaflet with full details of the changes nearer the time - whether they are affected or not.

All households will continue to receive weekly collections.

The new schedules also mean that all waste and recycling is collected from each property on the same day.

Councillor Ken Rowlands, Cabinet Member for the Environment and Regulatory Services, said: “By collecting household refuse in zones as opposed to the existing method, which has been in place for decades, we will be better able to concentrate our resources.

“The new arrangements will mean greater efficiencies for the Authority and help it meet strict recycling targets from the Welsh Government.

“As an Authority, we’re always looking to make improvements to the services we provide for householders.

“We believe the changes will allow the service to develop in order to meet the stiff challenges that lie ahead.”

All households in Pembrokeshire will receive an information leaflet before the new schedules start, containing full details of the new collections days and times.
