This replaced mixed recycling bags with a blue glass caddy, red and blue reusable sacks for tins, plastic, paper and card to be sorted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure

pilot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Cardiff Council, this pilot reduced contamination rates from 30 percent to six percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the recycling system does not appear in the petition Cllr Carter said it&#8217;s still a cause for concern, with residents feeling their opinions have been \u201ccompletely ignored\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A consultation on the pilot, published in September, revealed 54.8 per cent were either fairly or strongly dissatisfied with the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consultation also revealed 67.3 per cent filled their wheelie bins every fortnight. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt showed it was overwhelmingly disliked by people,\u201d Cllr Carter explained. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey found they had concerns about the bags getting wet, about recycling escaping, bags being blown around once emptied. They\u2019re worried about storing them, these things need to be kept somewhere dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo if you don\u2019t have a garage or shed to put them in, you\u2019re forced to put them in your house or flat, which is undesirable. That\u2019s the concern, and that\u2019s been completely ignored.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enable the new kerbside sorting system the council will have to buy new waste collection vehicles, allowing workers to separate recycling while collecting rather than through a secondary sorting process. The older vehicles proved &#8220;unreliable and caused operational difficulties&#8221; during the pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The council do not know how much the new vehicles will cost.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/Cllr-Jess-Moultrie-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68064\" width=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/Cllr-Jess-Moultrie-edited.jpg 552w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/Cllr-Jess-Moultrie-edited-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/Cllr-Jess-Moultrie-edited-370x490.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/Cllr-Jess-Moultrie-edited-293x387.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/Cllr-Jess-Moultrie-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68064\" width=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/Cllr-Jess-Moultrie-edited.jpg 552w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/Cllr-Jess-Moultrie-edited-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/Cllr-Jess-Moultrie-edited-370x490.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/Cllr-Jess-Moultrie-edited-293x387.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cllr Jess Moultrie said the &#8220;council is listening to residents&#8221;, but stressed the importance of &#8220;protecting our climate&#8221;. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Cllr Moultrie added: \u201cThe council is listening to residents.
