Even more communities throughout the county borough are set to receive a major roll-out programme of Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s Food Recycling Scheme.
So far 20,000 residents across Rhondda Cynon Taf have been offered the new scheme that aims to reduce the amount of household waste sent to landfill.
All households that use the Council’s weekly kerbside recycling scheme are being approached to undertake the Food Recycling scheme as well.
Members of the Council’s Streetcare Team are visiting homes in Taff’s Well and Efail Isaf this week and encouraging them to support this easy and clean method of recycling food waste.
At present 55% of households in Rhondda Cynon Taf recycle, but thousands are still not getting involved even though there are so many schemes on offer, from the kerbside weekly collection service, easy-to-access community recycling centres, free collection of larger items and now the food waste recycling scheme.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Frontline Services Cllr Anthony Christopher: “This is a very pro-active and widely celebrated project to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill. Only by working together can the people of Rhondda Cynon Taf succeed in our endeavour to make this an even more environmentally-friendly county borough.”
