ADVICE has been issued for Torfaen residents after non-recyclable waste was left in green waste bins this week.
A spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, due to some residents using their green waste bin inappropriately our recycling contractors haven’t been able to recycle everything we have sent them this week.
"This is such a shame because the majority of the people do use the green waste bins properly. The green bin is for green waste only."

The green waste bins can be used for: grass cuttings, leaves, hedge clippings, small twigs, dead plants, flowers, and bedding from small pets such as hamsters and guinea pigs.
