Residents of a narrow street say their recycling bags are regularly left uncollected leaving piles of rubbish bags littering their street. People on Mary Street in Neath say they once went four weeks without a collection.
Neath Port Talbot council blamed parked cars along the narrow street blocking access and said residents may be asked to take their rubbish to the end of the street for collection in future.
Tracey Nicol, 52, and neighbour Trudi Feiven, 49, have both lived on Mary Street for 16 years and have never had any issues with their bins being collected until last year. Now they say their regular recycling driver will not drive down their road as it is too narrow, despite their non-recyclable waste being collected by other drivers without any issues.
