It\u2019s well known that recycling helps protect the environment – but how does it affect locals in Newport who find the process confusing?<\/span><\/p>\n

Last month a petition was sent around the citizens of Newport which demanded the council change their current recycling system. It seems the unpopular system was too confusing for the local residents to maintain, as\u00a0it was changed a few months ago.<\/p>\n

David Seadon, aged 28, a graphic designer residing in the Malpas area, says, \u201cWe can\u2019t keep up with these constant changes. It was hard enough before, now they\u2019ve rearranged everything and are changing all the boxes and bags around. Why can\u2019t we just put it all together like other cities do?\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Looks

These changes have happened because the council handed over much of the recycling to the third sector organisation, Wastesavers. Phil Hunt, aged 57, Wastesavers marketing and development officer, when asked about the \u201cconstant changes\u201d, said there weren\u2019t any. They acknowledge that people are uncomfortable changing their routines, but the last time new recycling was introduced was when cardboard was brought in around 2008-2009.<\/p>\n

In other places, people put all\u00a0their recycling\u00a0in\u00a0one container, which is called co-mingled recycling. However, in Newport\u00a0the collectors sort through\u00a0the recycling on the kerbside, so the recycling needs to be boxed\/bagged appropriately for easy transition. Phil explained this costs less, creates jobs and is safer\u00a0for the environment. It\u2019s why it\u2019s important they get the recycling right; it\u2019s not only better environmentally, it\u2019s better for the public too.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Wastesavers are pushing a simplified process; by increased cardboard collection from every two weeks to every week, reducing household build-up and putting all their recycling information on their <\/span>website<\/span><\/a>, they\u2019ve made the entire process a lot less rubbish.<\/span><\/p>\n
