Thousands of tonnes of black bag waste in Swansea is being carted away from the city and incinerated to generate power, including in Cardiff and Sweden.
Non-recyclable waste produced by householders has for decades ended up at Tir John landfill site, Port Tennant, but it stopped accepting it last month for good.
The council has confirmed it has now signed contracts with two companies, Derwen Recycling Ltd and Geminor Ltd, to process the black bag waste.
