Update 3.30pm – bins and recycling
Following disruptions to collections, next week we intend to collect general waste, recycling and food waste from all households in Wrexham.
Please take your bins and recycling boxes back inside for now and put them out again ready for your usual collection day next week.
We can accept extra recycling provided it’s presented correctly (details on how to do this here). Please don’t leave bags of general waste next to bins as we are unable to take these. The recycling centres are open as usual if you need to use them, but please take caution and only travel if conditions allow.
Update 8.56am
Tŷ Pawb will be open from 9am. The car park will be open from 9.30am after it has been cleared of snow.
Update 7.43am
Today’s school closures listed on our website.
Gritting
From 4pm, gritting will run right the way through for the next 24 hours at least.
Details of priority routes can be found online.
However, we encourage drivers to take extra care and only make essential journeys.
Bins and recycling
Bin collections for tomorrow (Friday) have been suspended due to the difficult conditions forecast.
If you’ve already received an automated email asking you to put out your bins / recycling tomorrow, please ignore this.
However, we intend to provide full collections next week including black bins and recycling for all properties (weather dependant).
School closures
You can check if your child’s school is open on the council website.
