Since 2020, the overall recycling rate for the city dipped due to the pandemic.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next statutory minimum target of 70% for 2024-25 has already been achieved in four of the 22 local authorities across Wales. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worryingly, the council says 30% of material collected for recycling is in fact dirty material such as food waste, nappies or medical waste that cannot be recycled. In 2020, 10,000 tonnes of this dirty material was\u00a0then used as fuel to create energy as opposed to making new products. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven key initiatives are being put to residents to help improve the city\u2019s recycling and composting rates. They can be summarised as a &#8220;full kerbside sort&#8221; or a &#8220;three-stream collection&#8221;. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three-stream collection was rolled out in a <a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/2022\/01\/28\/new-cardiff-recycling-pilot-asks-residents-to-sort-rubbish-into-six-bins-and-bags\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pilot scheme<\/a> in late January across 4,000 homes in Llandaff, Radyr, Pentwyn and Trowbridge, to replace single use green bags with sacks and caddies. Currently 24 million of these single-use green bags are used annually in Cardiff. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents involved in the three-stream collection system must separate:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Glass into a new blue caddy &nbsp;<\/li><li>Plastic, paper, card and tins into two reusable sacks (red and blue)&nbsp;<\/li><li>Food into brown caddy&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The council says that 23.7% of items placed in green bags kerbside and 41.4% of items collected from blocks of flats in green bags, were incorrect.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the pilot scheme\u00a0has opened\u00a0the debate as to\u00a0whether the proposed changes make life easier for the residents or the council. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sian Bagley, of Llanedeyrn, said: \u201cI\u2019m all for recycling and&nbsp;looking after the environment, and&nbsp;we as a household do as much as possible to help, but our garden is only the size of a hanky and&nbsp;it is getting filled up with ever increasing bins, sacks and boxes. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey are too big for the kitchen and will get sopping wet outside. So, what to do?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joseph Maxwell, also from Llanedeyrn, said: \u201cCouncil tax is high enough and then the public do the council\u2019s&nbsp;work.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robert James, part of&nbsp;the pilot scheme, added: \u201cPerhaps we should charge the council a monthly rental fee for storing their&nbsp;refuse containers on our property.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this, early indications suggest the pilot scheme has improved the purity of recycling collected. The contamination rate of material is said to have fallen from 30% to 5%. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020 Cardiff Council spent \u00a395,000 sorting incorrect waste in garden refuse bins, with some people reported to have hidden material at the bottom of bins, so collection crews would not reject them. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the third place world ranking, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walesonline.co.uk\/news\/wales-news\/scandal-huge-amounts-your-recycling-16886664?fbclid=IwAR24ib-_CzK9CWdaSFKDs9g1FeJbkyf-Vng3mk7KEClexMq-s4Rj2o-PcvM\" target=\"_blank\"
