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. [Post edited 26 Jun 12:24]

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.

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 đź‘Ť | |
