Check each site’s closure day

Dowlais is closed on Tuesdays and Aberfan on Wednesdays. The council publishes separate summer and winter timetables; check the relevant site and season rather than assuming both centres open every day.

Apply for a free van or trailer permit

Commercial-type vehicles and trailers need an approved permit before waste can be deposited. Apply online in advance and bring personal identification and proof of address; a photo driving licence can provide both.

Bring proof and separate bagged waste

Visitors without proof of address will be turned away. Separate recyclable materials before travelling; staff may ask you to open bags for inspection and sorting. Lorries and vehicles over 3.5 tonnes cannot use the sites.

About Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council manages two recycling centres. Residents must show proof of address to access the sites; without it, entry will be denied. Waste should be segregated wherever possible, with recyclables placed in the correct containers. Commercial vehicles or trailers require a permit; otherwise, tipping is not allowed. Small amounts of non-recyclable waste can be disposed of. Following these rules helps ensure safe, efficient recycling and responsible waste management for the community.
