CAERPHILLY residents are facing waits of up to three hours at the county's recycling centres.

Caerphilly County Borough Council has created a regularly updated page on their website showing the current waiting times at each of their recycling centres.

Four of the six in the county borough are open to the public today, Thursday. The Trehir Civic Amenity Site and the Aberbargoed Civic Amenity Site are closed on Thursdays.

Penallta Civic Amenity Site is currently the busiest recycling centre in the county borough and has a waiting time of between two and three hours.

Residents visiting the other three can expect a waiting time of between one and two hours.

Caerphilly’s recycling centres reopened on Tuesday, May 26, with social distancing measures in place.

Unlike all the other Gwent councils, Caerphilly does not operate a booking system for its residents.

Currently the recycling centres are only accepting cars – any vans and trailers will be refused entry.
