Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Powys councillors scrutinised management failings in July 2026 after new waste routes caused missed collections and delays. At the 15 July committee meeting, senior waste and recycling manager Ashley Collins acknowledged insufficient management preparation at Abermule, where two supervisors went off sick after the rollout. An additional northern-area manager and borrowed supervisors were helping services recover, they said. A week earlier, councillors had challenged improving missed-collection statistics because they counted residents’ reports rather than every missed bin. Councillor Angela Davies questioned why known depot problems had not been resolved before the changes.
