What rubbish removal covers in Swansea
Drivers in the Swansea area take household rubbish, old furniture, garden waste, appliances and small building waste. List what you have and where it is, and say if anything is heavy or needs dismantling.

Use a registered waste carrier
Anyone who takes your waste must be a registered waste carrier.

The responsibility for where your waste ends up stays with you.
