Some waste collections in Cardiff are likely to be impacted following Unite’s decision to strike between Thursday, December 28, and Thursday, January 25.

Cardiff Council is putting a plan in place to maintain services and we apologise in advance to residents for any inconvenience.

Unfortunately, due to the strike the council has said it will be unable to collect Christmas trees this year.

To help residents dispose of their trees, a Christmas tree drop-off point will be provided at Heath Park on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th January 2024, between 10am and 4pm.

Alternatively residents can bring their Christmas tree to either Lamby Way or Bessemer Close Recycling Centres – without making a booking through the online system.

Residents have also been advised that Christmas trees could also be chopped up and placed in their green bins until the garden waste collections re-start in the spring.

During the strike the council has said it will aim to run all collection services as normal, apart from hygiene. Anyone registered with the hygiene service will have their hygiene waste collected every fortnight with black bag/black bin waste.

Residents are asked to check waste collection updates through the council’s website.

The recycling centres at Lamby Way and Bessemer Close will remain open during usual operating hours and will not be affected by the strike action.
