Recycling

All four Plaid Cymru-led Local Authorities have recycling rates that are higher than the Wales average, collectively saving £15m and avoiding 47,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Plaid Cymru-led authorities and councillors will press for measures to make recycling easier and more efficient. This includes ensuring reliable collections, and giving clear guidance on what can be recycled through household waste.
