Vale of Glamorgan: A soft plastics recycling trial is coming to the Vale of Glamorgan

 

A soft plastics recycling trial is coming to the Vale 

If you live in Dinas Powys, Penarth, Llandough, Sully, or surrounding areas, you will be among the first in the UK to trial kerbside soft plastics recycling.

What you need to know:

  • If you live in the trial area, we will deliver a roll of blue sacks and an information leaflet to your doorstep from Monday 07 April
  • From Monday 21 April we will start collecting your soft plastics with the rest of your recycling

How it works:

  • You will be able to recycle a range of soft plastics, including wrappings and bags – you can find a full breakdown of what can and cannot be recycled on the leaflet or on our website
  • Your blue sack containing your soft plastics should be tied and placed inside your blue plastic & metals recycling bag for collection on your usual collection day
  • Your soft plastics will be turned into new products like bags for life and bin bags at a UK facility
  • This Welsh Government-funded trial will run for nine months – we’ll update you on what happens next before it concludes

The Cosy Beans CafĂ© has closed permanently and the future of the coffee shop has not yet been determined. 

Until a decision is made, the soft play and seating area will be open for use from Mon 10 Feb (Mon – Thurs) between the hours of 0900 – 1430 hrs and closed on Fridays.
