Well done us!
For the second year running Pembrokeshire has been named by the Welsh Government as the best recycler in Wales.
The Government’s recycling target is 64% and from April 2020 to March 2021, 73.2% of all waste was recycled in our county. In the previous year it was 72%.
Councillor Chris Tomos, cabinet minister for the environment, expressed pride at the achievement, saying that to have improved on what was already such a high level in the previous year was a great success.
At a time when climate change is on everyone’s mind, it is important to know that Wales ranks third in the world for recycling.
Pembrokeshire Council offers a comprehensive list on its website of items that can be recycled
Its collection service will take the following from your home:
Paper and card
Metal tins, cans and foil, including foil trays
Plastic bottles
Food waste
Dairy – cheese etc
