Exciting news from Rhondda Cynon Taf! Recent changes to waste collection have led to a recycling boom in the area. 🚮📈 Since the introduction of a new system, there’s been a whopping 33% reduction in refuse tonnage, a 21% increase in food waste recycling, and an 11% jump in dry mixed recycling. 🎉


The council has reported the highest weekly dry recycling rates, reaching an impressive 76%! Even more, the street scene is looking tidier with fewer large bins cluttering up footways, making the area cleaner and more pleasant. 🌿👍
However, there’s a tiny hiccup: some residents are popping their household waste into street litter bins. Remember, this counts as fly-tipping and is a no-no! 🚫 Let’s keep the momentum going and aim for even cleaner streets together.

The changes have brought numerous benefits, from improved collection speed to helping meet the Welsh Government’s ambitious 70% recycling target. 🌟✨ It’s a testament to how small actions lead to big outcomes!
Curious about how these changes are affecting trade waste or perhaps a way your area can improve? Stay tuned for more updates as the council continues to monitor and innovate. Let’s keep recycling and making our community a greener place to live! ♻️🌍
Are you recycling everything you can? Do your part, and let’s make RCT a shining example for the whole of Wales! 💚
