More Materials Can Now Be Recycled
April 16, 2008
Batteries and clothing are the latest items of household waste than can be collected as part of the Council’s innovative kerbside recycling programme.Polystyrene can now also be recycled at the Community Recycling Centres in Rhondda Cynon Taf as part of the latest initiatives to increase recycling and cut down on landfill in the county borough.
Thanks to the installation of a new compressor at the Bryn Pica recycling depot in Llwydcoed, Aberdare, expanded polystyrene that is often used for packaging large objects such as television sets, can be heated and reduced to 2.5% of its original size. This will eradicate any polystyrene from being buried in landfill.
Although batteries and clothing material can be recycled at one of the Council’s many Community Recycling Centre SORT centres, they can now also be taken as part of the weekly collection programme for the first time.
