CHANGES TO RECYCLING AND WASTE SERVICES
CHANGES TO RECYCLING AND WASTE SERVICES
The Vale of Glamorgan Council needs to capture the views of local residents to inform the design and delivery of a new waste and recycling collection service.
From September 2018 the Council is proposing to limit the number of black bags that it will collect to two per household per fortnight, with some exceptions. This will help us reach Welsh Government's next statutory recycling target of 64% in 2019/20. Failure to do so may result in fines imposed against the Council.
From April 2019 the Council is proposing to introduce a source separated recycling system. This means that we will be collecting paper, cardboard, plastic and metal, and glass in separate containers.
It is anticipated that the changes to this service will take up to two years to implement in full.
We know that protecting our environment is as important to you as it is to us. We would like to hear from you in order to make this change as straightforward as possible for residents.
