Request Recycling / Waste Items


We have revised our waste collection policy to further improve performance and to deliver essential savings.  

We have previously delivered recycling items such as blue boxes and recycling bags to resident but from 1 June, 2015 we will no longer deliver these items. Residents of Flintshire will need to collect items from a network of sites across the County.

Direct to door deliveries will still continue for those registered as needing an assisted collection, as will deliveries of wheeled bins both brown and black. 

Items remain free of charge and black/brown wheeled bins will continue to be delivered to residents given their size.

Please read the following guide before making a request for items; if you receive an assisted collection from us then please go straight to point 2.

Changes to Requesting Food Waste Bags

There will no longer be an insert tag at the end of the roll to affix to the caddy handle.  Instead, towards the end of the roll a red stripe will appear which will alert residents to their bag supply being low.  

More bags can be obtained by tying a food waste bag to the handle of the green caddy on collection day. 

Alternatively, see below if you wish to collect food bags in person. 

How to Request Recycling Items:
(Blue Boxes, Blue Bags, Food Bags, etc)

Step 1 - Decide which site you would like to collect your items from?

  • Household Waste and Recycling Centres (a collection reference number is required):
    • Rockliffe - Chester Road, Oakenholt CH6 5SF
    • Greenfield - Greenfield Business Park No2, Greenfield CH8 7GJ
    • Sandycroft - Prince William Avenue, Deeside, CH5 2QZ
    • Mold - Nercwys Road, Nercwys, Mold CH7 4ED
    • Buckley - Globe Way, Buckley CH7 3LY
  • Flintshire Connects Centres:
    • Buckley - Buckley Library, The Precinct, Buckley, CH7 2EF
    • Connah's Quay - Connah's Quay Library, Wepre Drive, Connah's Quay, CH5 4HA
    • Flint - Church Street, Flint, CH6 5BD
    • Holywell - Old Town Hall, High Street, Holywell, CH8 7TD
    • Mold - Mold Library, Earl Road, Mold CH7 1AP

Please note:

You do not require a collection reference number to collect recycling items from Flintshire Connects so you don't need to complete the online order form or contact Streetscene.

Just visit the Centre providing your postcode and house name / number during opening hours.

Step 2 - Contact Streetscene to request your items.

You will be given a collection reference number which is important as you will need this to collect your items from the site you have selected. You can contact Streetscene by completing the online form below or by telephoning 01352 701234

Step 3 - Once you have your collection reference number, take this to your agreed collection site along with proof of residency. Present this information to the officer on site who will then give you your items.  

Due to strict stock monitoring, you will not be able to go to a different collection site to the one you chose on ordering.
