A POP-UP recycling service in Llangollen has ceased operations with immediate effect.

Denbighshire County Council has announced it will cease to operate the Saturday pop-up recycling service at Llangollen Pavilion. 

This service has been running every 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month to enable residents to dispose of recycling, non-recyclable waste, and garden waste.

Residents will now have to book to visit any of the recycling centres in Denbighshire and Conwy and there is an additional service specifically to assist residents from Llangollen and the surrounding area at the Plas Madoc Recycling Centre in Wrexham. This site is more convenient to Llangollen residents and has slots available seven days a week.

A Denbighshire Council spokesperson said: "It was always the plan to cease operating the Llangollen Saturday service once the agreement was in place for residents to use the Plas Madoc site. The council has kept the Saturday service in place as a short-term temporary measure to ensure the arrangement with Plas Madoc is working.

"Anyone who has a future booking to use the Saturday service at Llangollen Pavilion have been informed that they will need to make alternative arrangements."
