RESIDENTS in Brynaman are being urged to clean out their cupboards and get rid of any rubbish they have lying around the home.

A waste amnesty is being held in the village on Saturday and householders will be able to take advantage of a one-off chance to dispose of any large items of rubbish for free.

It has been organised by Carmarthenshire County Council in a bid to tackle fly-tipping and encourage residents to reduce, reuse and recycle.

A collection point will be set up in the car park opposite the community centre (where the bring site is located), between 8am to 10.30am.

Most household waste can be taken along including bulky waste items such as furniture and electrical goods However, asbestos, tyres, paint, garden chemicals, batteries, gas bottles, construction waste and trade waste will not be accepted. Council workmen will also be on hand to help.
