Firefighters have been tackling the blaze
A blaze at a recycling centre has been brought under control by firefighters.
They were called on Friday at about 10:35 BST to the site in Bynea, near Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, where a large amount of waste caught alight.
Crews from Llanelli, Gorseinon, Tumble, Swansea West, Ammanford, Swansea Central and Pontarddulais attended. Residents were told to close doors and windows.
Firefighters said contractors were now removing the waste for damping down.
A Mid and West Wales Fire Service spokesman said: "The service is working with Natural Resource Wales to ensure a robust strategy to prevent and monitor decontaminated water run off from the scene."
Nine appliances were at the scene but this has been cut to four.
