When will my bin be collected after Storm Eunice causes disruption across Wales

Recycling and waste collections across Wales were cancelled last Friday, as Storm Eunice battered the country.

Rail services were suspended, schools and council buildings were closed and people across the country were urged to stay inside, if they could.

With a red weather warning in place for parts of the country and winds of more than 70mph reported across Wales, it's no surprise bin collections were suspended, and postponed until the weather improved.

Here's a round-up of when the rescheduled bin collections, for those whose bins weren't collected on February 21, will take place:

Anglesey

All recycling and food waste collections that were due to be collected on Friday, February 21 have been pushed back until the "next scheduled collection", Isle of Anglesey County Council said.

Recycling and bin collections scheduled for Friday, February 18 suspended took place on Saturday, February 19, Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council said.

Bridgend

Bridgend County Borough Council has confirmed recycling that was due to be collected on Friday, February 18 will be collected on Friday, February 25 and general refuse not collected on Friday will be collected on Saturday, February 26.

All other collections are set to go ahead this week "as normal".
