Household waste and recycling collections in Bridgend could soon change under new plans from the council, following discussions that took place at a cabinet meeting on June 14. Household waste is currently collected for the local council by private providers Kier Services, however as the firm's contract is set to run out in 2024 a new operator will have to be found.
Ahead of that date, officials have been discussing plans to bring in changes for the next operator that would include increasing the types of materials that can be recycled, as well as potentially changing the collection methods of waste using alternative containers. They would also look at a new fleet of low-emission bin lorries which bosses say would be "cleaner".
