Some rubbish bin collections across Cardiff will soon return to normal.
On Monday, May 18, Cardiff Council announced that weekly kerbside collections for recyclables and food waste will return to normal service from June 1.
The service was disrupted in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Residents are being asked to start using their brown kerbside food caddies again from this date, and make sure all recyclables go into their green bags for collection.
All recyclables collected in the green bags will now be recycled. It was previously revealed that the council was burning all the recycling people were putting out in green bags or wheelie bins.
Black bin waste or red striped bags will now go back to being collected once every fortnight. The council said any side waste will not be collected.
Green garden waste, bulky collections and the glass bottle and jar trial, however, all remain suspended until further notice.
Rubbish tips remain closed but the council said they are "working on a booking system" to allow them to reopen when safe to do so.
Residents living in the 14,000 homes that are part of the glass bottle and jar pilot scheme are asked to continue to put their bottles and jars in their green bags, rather than their blue caddy until further notice.
All food waste, which must now be presented for collection in the brown food caddies, will be processed at an "Anaerobic Digestion Plant" to make green electricity and compost.

Cabinet Member for Clean Streets, Environment and Recycling councillor Michael Michael said: " We have always said that we would seek to return to normal service arrangements as soon as we could, and we are now ready to begin doing that.
"I understand that there may be some concern that the complete service we offered before the outbreak isn’t quite ready to return yet, but I ask everyone to bear with us. We are working on plans to restore all our services as soon as we can including our Household Waste Recycling Centres, green garden kerbside collections and bulky waste collections.
“I am delighted though, that we can begin recycling again. I know it has concerned many residents and I want to thank them all for their patience."
