Rubbish News?!

A few residents have raised with me the issue concerning the council’s new policy on refuse collections.

I understand that in general terms, there will be a roll-out of wheelie-bins throughout Powys but it will be phased in area-by-area over a period of time.These bins are of different sizes and small households can ask for smaller bins and large households for larger ones – all according to the amount of waste they think they’ll generate.

There will be separate containers for Food Waste.

This is all tied-up with the Welsh Assembly Government targets and the use of these bins is meant to help us Recycle more.

Residual Waste (the throw-away stuff) will be collected every two weeks as it is argued that as we Recycle more then our Residual Waste will lessen and there won’t be a need for the weekly collection of such waste.Surveys have been done to establish where there will be properties deemed inappropriate for Bins and it is likely that in such circumstances bags will be retained.

There was a series of Roadshows throughout Powys during the early summer and the vast majority of public attendees supported the intentions.
