Caerphilly County Borough Council has again increased the amount of waste that is reused, recycled or composted, according to latest figures.
For the 12 months up to the end of September 2016, the council reused, recycled or composted 65% of all waste collected. Between July and September 2016, the figure increased to 67%.
The council has also reintroduced weekly garden waste recycling collections, after the service operated on a ‘request only’ basis through the winter months. The temporary reduction was to allow the council to buy a new fleet of specialist ‘twin-pack’ collection vehicles, which now allow the council to separate food and garden waste on the same vehicle.
Can this reported increase be verified ? or is this propaganda ?
