Flintshire moves to three-weekly bin collections in April to boost recycling to meet targets. Other councils nationwide consider similar changes.
Flintshire Council already confirmed its changes. They’ll collect regular waste every three weeks. Right now, they do it every two weeks. The change starts in April.
The council thanked people for recycling. They recycle over 62% of their waste now. National targets went up to 70%. Everyone must help reach that target!
Twelve more councils plan to collect waste every three weeks instead of two. Other councils made even bigger changes to collection. It’s all a bit complicated, you know?
Seven councils will collect waste every two weeks instead of every week. Two councils will collect waste every four weeks instead of three. Some plan to extend recycling pick-up times too.
Two councils will collect recycling every four weeks instead of three. Four councils will collect recycling every two weeks instead of every week. One council plans to collect recycling every three weeks. They now collect it every two.
Ten councils want to change things, but plans are secret. Wrexham is one of those councils. Over eight million people might see bin collection changes! Five million could have waste collected less often. Over 800,000 might have recycling cut.
