Recycling & Rubbish Use these pages to find out about the ways you can dispose of your recycling and rubbish as well as getting tips on how to recycle more and information on your collections.We provide a Kerbside Collection Scheme for recycling and rubbish. You are provided with a weekly collection but you are asked to sort your waste into the appropriate bag or bin.  Your collections are split into Green Week and Pink Week. Remember that your black bags are now collected on your pink week only but your kitchen waste is collected every week. If you are using all of the kerbside recycling collections you will notice that there is not a lot of household waste left in your black. If you are unsure of your recycling and rubbish collections days use our Recycling & Rubbish Collection Search. If you want more information on recycling or have a question about your collections, please contact the Recycling Team on 01792 635600 or email recycling@swansea.gov.uk. If you wish to report a non collection please wait until after 4pm on the day of your collection to give the crews enough time to have completed your area. The recycling section also provides information on other recycling initiatives in Swansea as well as our schools information pages Sammy Seagull's School of Recycling
