Cllr John Powell, Cabinet Member for Environment and Sustainability, said: “Christmas is one of the most joyous times of the year but it can also generate a lot of waste. It is important that households recycle as much as they can over this period so they don’t run out of space in their black wheeled bin or purple sacks.
“Our latest recycling figures show that the county recycled over 3,800 tonnes of material in September, an impressive 66% of all material and well above the county’s statutory target of 58% of material being recycled during the year.
“We would like to thank all householders for their efforts. By recycling your waste wherever possible, we can reduce the amount sent to landfill and also help to achieve the strict recycling targets set by Welsh Government.”
