Hard plastics can now be recycled at Vale household waste
recycling centres
Published 16 January 2012
Hard plastics can now be recycled at Vale of Glamorgan
Council household waste recycling centres.
Hard plastics that can’t be reused such as plastic garden
furniture, plastic plant pots, old children’s toys, UPVC window
frames, some office furniture like trays or rulers, kerbside boxes
that are cracked and unusable – to name but a few examples, can now
be diverted from landfill and recycled instead.
Cabinet Member for visible and building services at the Vale
council, Councillor Geoffrey Cox, announced the news saying: "I am
pleased to tell Vale residents that they can now recycle even more
items - this time either at the household waste recycling centre at
the Atlantic Trading Estate, Barry or our other site at Llandow.
This will reduce even further the amount of waste that we send to
landfill."
Both household waste recycling sites are open 10am to 4pm daily
(including weekends) and once British Summer Time starts, on 25
March, opening times will be extended.
Council contractors Biffa trialled the hard plastic recycling at
the Atlantic Trading Estate; they reported it had been so well
received by residents who regularly visited the site that they were
happy to introduce the same recycling facility at Llandow.
