Anglesey bin collections

On Anglesey the black bin waits three weeks between collections, while the recycling boxes and brown food bin go every week. Textiles and batteries are no longer taken from the kerb. Skip the £43 garden subscription and you can still take garden waste to Penhesgyn or Gwalchmai recycling centres for free.
