County councillor speaks on local use of Plas Madoc recycling centre

 

Llangollen county councillor Karen Edwards has made the following statement about the use of the Plas Madoc recycling centre by the people of Llangollen:

"People of the Dee Valley care about recycling. We know that because over a thousand people signed a petition I helped to launch over three years ago. 

"Councils are expected to work together to make best use of the property assets and to the residents of the Dee Valley it seemed an obvious choice that we should be using the recycling facility at Plas Madoc rather than having a thirty two-mile round trip to Ruthin to dispose of our waste.

"We finally achieved a success of sorts for Llangollen (LL20 postcode) because we now have access to Plas Madoc via the DCC booking system. It will run for a trial period of three months from the 18^th March to the 17^th June. 

"Both Wrexham and Denbighshire Councils will need to satisfy themselves that the financial arrangements are fair to both parties and that the system works effectively. Details of how the booking system operates can be found at this link: website https://www.denbighshire.gov.uk/en/bins-and-recycling/visiting-our-waste-and-recycling-parks.aspx or via customer services 01824 706000

"We are not ‘out of the woods’ entirely as the access is for a trial period, but if the service proves itself, I will be working to ensure that it continues.
