Recycling in Wrexham

This page provides details about recycling services provided by Wrexham County Borough Council.

On average every household in the area of Wrexham County Borough produces more than one tonne of waste every year.

Reducing waste and recycling is important, because it stops materials from going to landfill, reduces pollution, and saves natural resources and energy.

Take aluminium cans for example, recycling of the cans uses only 5% of the energy it takes to produce cans from raw materials.

This is what you can do:

Reduce the amount of your waste that needs to be disposed of - buy products with less packaging and start to compost your garden and kitchen vegetable waste at home.
Re-use things - such as bottles, carrier bags and refillable containers.
Recycle things - use your local recycling facilities.
Repair things - don't always replace damaged goods with new ones.

There's a new waste collection for garden waste, food waste and cardboard. You can start using your kitchen caddy and blue sack NOW!
