The Roseheyworth Household Waste and Recycle Centre (HWRC) Abertillery opened to the public in April 2021 and provides a full range of recycling services.
Drivers are now able to follow a simple one-way system around the new centre. Parking bays provide convenient access to the high-sided skips on the upper level or alternative recycling facilities which are neatly positioned at ground level. The flat kerb-free parking bays enhance and remove potential trip hazards for people carrying waste from their cars. The sorting shelter even has a canopy to keep residents dry when placing items into the smaller recycling containers.
Not only can the Centre accept over 40 different waste streams, it also has a very a long, straight approach road leading to the site. If required, this would help ease congestion and help support the flow of traffic during peak times.
All visits to Roseheyworth need to be pre-booked in advance which ensures long queues are removed and waiting times reduced. Additionally, you can select a booking time that is convenient to you. However, you will be required to bring proof of booking and failure to do so may result in vehicles being turned away.
