Changes over way waste is handled at county's recycling centres on way

CHANGES are on the way over how a Welsh council deals with waste at its recycling centres which could lead to residents sifting through their own items.

From October of this year, Cyngor Gwyned says it will no longer accept mixed waste in bags that are handed over at its recycling centres.

It says this is to ensure that everything that is possible to be recycled will be.

For those who are unable to sort their waste before arriving at one of the county's nine centres, they will be required to open up each bag and place individual items into the correct skips.

Specific spaces will be allocated within the recylcing centre to make this possible.

The council is urging people to seek help from recycling centre staff if they are unsure over what item goes in which skip.
