Any service disruptions will be published on the council website after 2pm on the day of collection. Residents are encouraged to check for the latest updates before reporting a missed collection.

Residents are also encouraged to share this information with family members, friends or neighbours who may rely on others for updates and information.
Carmarthenshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport, Waste and Infrastructure Services, Cllr Edward Thomas, said:
With the Summer Bank Holiday approaching, I’d encourage all residents to take a few minutes to check their revised collection date. Collections will take place one day later than usual, so putting your bins out on the correct day will help ensure everything runs smoothly. We would also like to thank residents for continuing to recycle as much as possible, remembering to wash and squash items and keep within the three black bag limit.”
