Waste and Recycling Toolkit

Sorting out waste and recycling within your student house can be challenging. To make it easier, here is a step-by-step guide and toolkit to help you and your housemates recycle more and waste less.

Step 1: Find out which day of the week your waste and recycling is collected.

Visit Cardiff Council’s Collection Day page and enter your property’s address to find your collection day.

Step 2: Once you know your collection day, download your Collection Day Calendar and Sort It Poster from the list below.

The poster shows you how to sort your waste and recycling into the correct container, and the calendar shows you all your collection days for the next year!

TIP: You can print and display these in your home’s communal area so everyone will know what to do.

You can use the app to:

  • Set collection reminders
  • Find out what can be recycled
  • Book recycling centre appointments
  • Much more!

Step 4: Share this step-by-step guide with your housemates, so they have the right tools and know what to do!

Landlords and Property Managers

If you are a landlord or property manager, you can also download the Bin Inventory Checklist to check that your property has all the equipment that your tenants need to manage their waste and recycling.

If you need to order additional or replacement equipment, please visit Cardiff Council’s Waste and Recycling pages for more information.
