If you need a new or replacement bin or recycling box, ordering one is perhaps much easier than you think.

We have a very short form we need you to complete for us. It only takes a minute-or-two – just pop in the details and we can start preparing for the replacement to be sent out.

If you’re reporting a faulty bin, we may be able to attempt a repair on your next collection day, depending on the type of damage.

If your bin has been lost or stolen, or if you need to order a new one for your property, you can follow the instructions to make your payment (a general waste bin costs £59, a garden waste bin costs £17).

ORDER A BIN

Replacement recycling boxes (black box, green box, kerbside food caddy, kitchen food caddy, blue bag) can be ordered free of charge. Just fill in the details and we’ll process your order.

ORDER A RECYCLING BOX

We’ll get the replacement out to you as quick as we can, but how long this takes can vary. The current estimated waiting time for deliveries is around 1-2 weeks. Should your order need to go on hold while we gather more stock, you’ll get an email from us.

Tree planting is due to start on Acton Park and Spider Park on 20th November to coincide with Wales Climate Week.

The theme for Wales Climate Week 2022 will focus on climate choices and the important contribution that the general public can make in helping to tackle climate change. Now more than ever, it is clear that the only way we will tackle climate change is if we all work together and you can help by joining one of our tree planting sessions.

Help with the cost of living – claim what’s yours, reduce your bills, look after your health.

Tree planting sessions will take place between 10-12pm and 1-3pm on Sunday 20 November.

We will be planting on the Herbert Jennings side of Acton Park so make your way over to the play area on Acton Park, pick up a spade and get stuck in.

Over 3000 saplings will be planted across the two sites, funded by Trees for Cities. The scheme will help connect existing areas of trees on the Park to build a wildlife corridor between habitats and support our carbon sequestration efforts.

This work also supports our Tree and Woodland strategy and our commitment to increase canopy cover throughout the county.

We’re are keen to gain public support for trees and woodlands in Wrexham and have created the Wrexham Woodland Pledge as a way to get the general public involved.

If you are concerned about trees and woodlands in Wrexham, you can sign up to the pledge. We want everyone, from individuals to businesses and community groups to lend their support and learn about the ways we can protect this vital habitat.

You can sign the pledge and join a mailing list here:

A Wrexham taxi driver has been prosecuted after he refused to transport two blind customers as they were accompanied by an assistance dog.

Mr Ali Raza Kiani, of Pendinas, Wrexham, was prosecuted was fined £200 and ordered to pay £1080 costs for the offence, which occurred late at night in January 2022.

Help with the cost of living – claim what’s yours, reduce your bills, look after your health.

Wrexham Magistrates Court heard that the customers had booked the vehicle to get home from Wrexham. When Mr Kiani arrived at the pick-up destination he refused to allow the dog into the vehicle on the grounds “that the vehicle has leather seats”.

The customers were fully aware of their rights under equality legislation and informed the driver that he would be committing an offence if he refused to transport the dog. They informed him that they would keep the dog off the seats. Mr Kiani called his operator, Speedy Cars to send another vehicle, however, he then drove off and left the customers.

When interviewed by Council Licensing Officers, Mr Kiani claimed that he did not know that the dog was a guide dog. The court heard that the dog was wearing its high visibility harness and reflective ‘guide dog’ identification badge at the time of the incident.

The court also heard witness testimonies from the customers who attended Court with the dog. The legislation allows drivers with a pre-approved “medical exemption certificate” to refuse to carry dogs, if it impairs their health, however Mr Kiani did not have any medical exemption.

He was found guilty of the offence of refusing to transport a customer with a guide dog, contrary to the Equality Act 2010.

Cllr Terry Evans, Lead Member for Planning and Public Protection, said “Taxi and Private Hire Operators have clear responsibilities under the Equality Act, which protects the right of people with disabilities.  It is completely unacceptable for a driver to refuse to transport a passenger with an assistance dog.

This year, we’re celebrating World Children’s Day by holding a free event in Tŷ Pawb on Thursday 17 November 2022 to celebrate children’s rights and their place in society.

Help with the cost of living – claim what’s yours, reduce your bills, look after your health.

Everything in this event will be free with free food (subject to availability), information market stalls and entertainment including treasure hunt, circus skills, sports, photo booth, glitter faces, live bug display, live music and performances, play activities and much, much more.

Going Blue for World Children’s Day

We are asking everyone to wear something blue (the internationally recognised colour of World Children’s Day) on the day to help bring attention to the importance of children’s rights.

We’ll also be turning Tŷ Pawb building blue to mark and celebrate World Children’s Day.

Every school in Wrexham has been invited and staff and pupils are asked to wear something blue.

World Children’s Day was first established in 1954 as Universal Children’s Day and is celebrated on 20 November each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide and improving children’s welfare.

November 20 is an important date as it is the date in 1959 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. It is also the date in 1989 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Since 1990, World Children’s Day also marks the anniversary of the date that the UN General Assembly adopted both the Declaration and the Convention on children’s rights.
