In 2019-20, Vale of Glamorgan Council achieved a 70% recycling rate, securing its position as one of the top areas in Wales for recycling. Despite this success, the Council identified that a small but growing number of residents were including non-recyclable materials in their co-mingled recycling bins. The Council sought ways to improve the quality of recyclable materials collected at the kerbside by increasing the level of separation of materials at source. Discover the measures introduced by Vale of Glamorgan Council successfully improved the quality of recyclables collected and reinforced the Council’s position as a leading area in Wales for recycling.

As part of our work with @WelshGovernment to accelerate the circular economy in Wales, our @WRAP_Cymru team has produced a series of case studies – sharing learnings and establishing good practice to motivate more initiatives that increase reuse and recycling. Caerphilly County Borough Council noticed many household furnishings and appliances were being disposed of as waste, despite their potential for reuse or repurposing. Recognising that not all residents were in this stronger financial position, the Council identified an opportunity to redistribute these valuable resources across communities.

Wales is currently ranked second best country in the world for recycling. Building on that success, we’re working with @WelshGovernment to take the next step and become a world leader in the circular economy. As part of this work to accelerate the circular economy in Wales, our @WRAP_Cymru team has produced a series of case studies – sharing learnings and establishing good practice to motivate more initiatives that increase reuse and recycling. Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council completed the construction of its new Roseheyworth Reuse and Recycling Centre and partnered with @WastesavrsReuse to open an on-site reuse shop, in an effort to improve reuse and recycling rates.
