Llangollen homes chosen for soft plastics collection trial

Llangollen is one of seven Denbighshire towns chosen for soft plastics collection trial.

It will begin on Monday September 14 and aims to find the best way to collect and recycle plastic bags and wrapping.

This is in preparation for forthcoming Welsh Government changes to recycling requirements.

Denbighshire County Council has invited a total of around 4,500 homes to take part in the trial. Residents invited live in a mix of housing types and areas so that the council can get a good and fair understanding of how different homes will use the service.

The areas chosen include Llangollen, Denbigh, Prestatyn, Rhyl, Rhuddlan, Corwen and Efenechtyd.

The council says homes selected for the trial will receive a leaflet explaining how it works between Monday and Friday September 7 and 11. The last collection in the trial is on Friday December 4.

Options regarding collecting future soft plastics will be considered once the trial has been reviewed, and any future changes will be communicated to residents at the appropriate time, explains the council.
