Cardiff Council's new kerbside-sort recycling scheme is being expanded to a further 5,000 properties across the city. It is hoped that the move will help improve the quality of recycling across the city and help the local authority meet its recycling target, which is set by the Welsh Government.
Specific properties in eight wards across the city will receive the new service and those residents will be notified next week. Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Cllr Caro Wild, said: "We need to move to a more circular economy where instead of using materials once and then throwing them away, we re-use and re-manufacture materials.
"This would not only be far better for the planet but create green jobs as we re-manufacture and re-purpose these materials locally. So far the residents involved in the trials have been brilliant, and their valuable feedback is being used to improve the system as we grow it."
