Does the Authority have a wheeled bin service?  Monmouthshire Council does not currently operate a wheeled bin service for domestic properties.

How do I get rid of bulky household items? They can be collected for a small charge. From the 1st April 2007 the costs are:

• £7.00 for one item
• £8.50 for two items
• £10.00 for three items
• The exception is fridges that are charged at £13.00 each

You may visit or telephone your local 'One Stop Shop' to arrange payment prior to collection.

Abergavenny One Stop Shop 01873 735800                   

Chepstow One Stop Shop 01291 635700

Monmouth One Stop Shop 01600 775200

Caldicot One Stop Shop 01291 426400

Five working days notice is normally required. After payment the bulky items will have to be placed on the kerbside prior to collection. One Stop Shop staff will supply details of the collection day.
Fridges will also have to be placed on the kerbside.

I am unable to carry my bin to the kerbside. Can the Council help?

Yes, although certain criteria apply. If you are elderly or infirm you may ask to have your waste picked up from your front or backdoor which ever is the most convenient. However, in the first instance you will need to provide us with a letter from your doctor supporting your application before your request is considered.

Does the Authority provide any other special collections?

Yes. We co-ordinate with the NHS Cymru Wales by providing a free weekly clinical waste collection service for home dialysis patients and other sources.
