Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Conwy’s draft Waste and Resource Strategy for 2026–31 proposes reviewing black-bin capacity and recycling containers to help households recycle more. Reporting on the draft says 48% of material in non-recyclable bins could already be recycled through existing services, including food waste. The council also proposed adding flexible plastics at the kerbside by 2027 and encouraging repair and reuse. These are strategy proposals, not confirmed changes to collection arrangements. The report says public feedback would inform a revised draft before Cabinet approval, giving residents a role in shaping future local services.
