Rubbish collections 21:42 - Jun 25 with 4594 viewsSullutaCreturned

The Senedd has done it then, recommended to Welsh councils that balck bags should only be collected every 3 to 4 weeks because that is sufficient,

walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/welsh-councils-told-only-collect-31930619

They are saying that 60L per week is enough for "black bag"waste and a wheelie bin holds 240L but what they miss there is that a decent chunk of the wheelie bin is space, put 3 black bags in and around 20-30% (at a guess) is wasted space.

It also says that of the 22 councils only a few ciollect every 3 weeks with Conwy being at 4 weeks. Most are forthnightly

Will this work across the whole of Wales or is it thet start of fly tipping?

Speaking for our house our bin has 3 bags in it every collection and sometimes (at Christmas for example) we have extra bags and we recycle everything we can but we also buy a lot online and have it delivered and there is always a lot of unrecycleable packaging..

Our council tax bills have risen again and they are saying that from now on there could be 5% rises year on year. It's more of the same then, our bills continue to rise while our services get cut.

Give the Senedd some credit (fat chance) Wales has the second highest recycling rate in the world 64%. behind Germany 69%. Several USA stated are at around 20%. More room for landfill. England lags Wales in the 50s.

AI

Wales has a high recycling rate, ranking second globally. In the latest data, Wales achieved an overall recycling rate of 66.6% for the year 2023-24, up from 65.7% the previous year. This exceeds the target of 64% set by the "Beyond Recycling" strategy. The household recycling rate also saw an increase, reaching 64.6% in 2023-24.

So you're happy that our plastic rubbish for example ends up in landfill in lands far far away after travelling thousands of miles by ship , a ship which gobbles up thousands of gallons of fossil fuel , yeah 👍
