Welsh Government defends recycling target as nearly half of councils miss it

South Wales Echo

February 03, 2026

AFTER nearly half of Wales’ councils missed a new recycling target, the Welsh Government said it has a “longstanding” and “comprehensive” support system in place to get authorities over the line.

As reported in Friday's Echo, figures show 10 of the nation’s 22 local authorities failed to clear a target to recycle 70% of the waste they collect.

Among them was Caerphilly, which at 61.6% showed an improvement on the previous year’s rate but was still the lowest in Wales.

Caerphilly’s cabinet member for waste, Cllr Chris Morgan, described work to meet the “ambitious” target as a “long-term challenge” but said the council was “committed to working towards it”.
