Neath Port Talbot council dumps plan to cut bin collections

The decision was made after a public consultation prompted 3,740 responses with 84% of people disagreeing with plans to go to three-weekly collections and 73% of people disagreeing with extra charges.

At the meeting councillor Scott Jones said: “We are listening to the public, taking into consideration the concerns raised by the public during consultation as well as those from the scrutiny and wider council membership.

“I’m not convinced moving to three-weekly collections or implementing a green waste collection charge is the right approach.”

Combining paper and card collections was approved, as was the introduction of small electrical item collections.

A report noted eight of the council’s bin lorries need renewing.

Councillors also discussed how they would meet Welsh government recycling targets. They are set to rise to 70% in the 2025/26 financial year.
