Denbighshire recycling bins unsuitable for disabled Prestatyn man

Mr Rushton said his medication’s bulky packaging meant he produced a lot of waste despite living alone and his bin is “overflowing by week two”.

He worried that his health could be further affected if the rubbish is left uncollected for a month: “I have health issues and the worst thing is the possibility of rats.

“I think I’m not alone – there’s been a lot of complaints about waste building up and the possibility of rats and I don’t think the council are taking any of it seriously.”

Miranda Evans, business and partnerships manager with Disability Wales said disabled people encounter a variety of issues with recycling.

She said: “Some may be visually-impaired, so the colour coding of bags can be problematic for lots of people, and those that are physically disabled have difficulty carrying and moving the refuse to the appropriate spot.

“That needs to be taken into consideration when developing these schemes across local authorities in Wales.”
