Please be advised that, due to changes in driver regulations implemented by our waste management contractor, BIFFA, we have had to temporarily suspend the collection service for all waste streams at Gilwern Towpath (NP7 0AU) until a suitable alternative arrangement can be put in place.

The following nearby sites remain available for waste disposal:

  • Gilwern Wharf - NP7 0EP
  • Govilon - NP7 9NY
  • Llangattock - NP8 1LD

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and would like to assure you that we are treating this matter as a priority and are working urgently to find a solution.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
