A date has been announced for the rollout of three-weekly bin collections in one part of Wales. Newport City Council announced in March that household rubbish and garden waste bins, which are currently collected every two weeks, will move to three weekly collections in Newport.
The council is introducing the changes to help it meet its recycling targets, which it says could lead to large fines if it fails to do so. It has also warned of major budget pressures this year, which has led to some service cuts and an 8.5% council tax increase. You can read more about that here.
The council is rolling out the new collections on a phased basis, but further details had not been available until this week. However a date for the roll out to start has now been announced, as well as the list of streets that will see the changes first.
