VALE residents will soon have to separate their recycling and be limited to two black bin bags each fortnight. <\/span>
\nAt the moment all recycling is “co-mingled” and collected together in green bags.\u00a0<\/span>But from September 1, householders will have to separate paper and cardboard, plastic, cans and glass at the kerbside.<\/span>
\nThe aim is that less of the material will be contaminated so more can be used and sold at a higher a price. It is hoped the new system could save \u00a3400,000 each year.<\/span>
\nThe separated rubbish will be kept at a new recycling centre, which Vale council plans to build at the Atlantic Trading Estate in Barry. <\/span>
\nAt the moment the Vale’s recycled rubbish is driven to the north of England, from where it is sold on to countries as far away as India and China. Because of the transport costs and contamination, the council doesn\u2019t get any money back.<\/span>
\nThe new recycling centre will be more cost-effective and mean less carbon is emitted in transport. The council will apply for \u00a32.5 million funding from the Welsh government to build it. <\/span>
\nVale council cabinet agreed to the proposals on Monday. They will be voted on at a full council meeting next Wednesday, February 28. <\/span>
\nCouncillor Geoff Cox, cabinet member for neighbourhood services and transport, said: \u201cWe have been set a challenging target by the Welsh government of recycling 70% of the Vale\u2019s waste by 2025. <\/span>
\n\u201cWe can only achieve this if more residents than ever are willing to play their role in recycling. We must all work together.\u201d<\/span>
\nThe council will consult the public before the changes come into place. The limit on black bin bags won\u2019t apply to larger families or house shares, while an alternative solution is looked for. <\/span>
\nIn 2011 recycling in the Vale switched from “source separated” to co-mingled, to try to get more residents to recycle. But an EU law, the waste framework directive, introduced in 2015, means that paper, metal, plastic and glass have to be collected separately.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
