Today’s numbers of Covid-19 cases in the local areas of Llanelli…

You should not regret anything in life.

If it is good it’s wonderful.

If it is bad, it’s experience…

In case some residents of Llanelli are unsure and by the amount of food waste I have seen disposed of in back lanes and hedgerows that attract vermin, food collections by the council are weekly. Your waste food is turned into energy and fertiliser. Just 6 recycled teabags can produce enough electricity to make another cuppa.

Carmarthenshire County Council provide:

• A brown caddy for your kitchen.

• A green bin to put out weekly for collection.

• 3 rolls of liners for your brown caddy, delivered annually.

You can collect an extra roll from our Customer Service HWB offices if you run out.

Please try and keep your communities clean and free of discarded rubbish by following the recycling guidelines...
