Conwy County Borough Council in the UK has announced the launch of a new cardboard recycling initiative for its residents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The scheme involves the distribution of specialised recycling bags designed to facilitate the weekly collection of cardboard waste alongside other recyclables.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The recycling bags, which are expected for delivery to households this month, have a capacity of 72 litres and feature a self-fastening lid to ensure the cardboard remains dry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
This design is intended to streamline the recycling process, allowing the crews to collect the bags during their routine rounds of \u2018trolibocs\u2019 and food waste bins.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Conwy County Borough Council Neighbourhood and the Environment cabinet member Geoff Stewart said: \u201cSince the pandemic, with the rise in online shopping and home deliveries, we\u2019re now collecting an additional 214 tonnes of cardboard in a year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe introduced extra vehicles and drivers to collect large cardboard that didn\u2019t fit in the trolibocs or the recycling truck. The recycling crew would collect up cardboard and leave it in piles for the extra vehicles, but we weren\u2019t always able to collect all this cardboard on the same day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
