Blaenau Gwent Council has announced it is switching to a non-booking system for its new Household Waste and Recycling Centre in Roseheyworth, Abertillery. The new arrangements that came into place on Wednesday, March 16 2022, mean residents will no longer have to book an appointment to dispose of their waste at the recycling site, but can instead just turn up on the day.
The decision follows what has been described as mixed reviews about the current system, from residents who have used the site since it first opened in 2019. Many would now like to see other sites such as the centre in Ebbw Vale also change to a non-booking system as well.
