Wastesavers’ A – Z of recycling in Newport

If you produce more recycling than you can fit in your existing recycling containers, or yours are broken or have gone missing, you may order more.

Request bags, bins, boxes and caddies

The standard bin size for homes with four or fewer people is a 120-litre bin.

If you have five or more people living in your home – and feel you’re recycling all you can but still need more space for your non-recyclable waste – you may contact us to apply for a larger bin.

If you produce more non-recyclable waste than you can fit in your bin for us to collect every three weeks, you may take this extra waste to our household waste recycling centre, free of charge.
