Cardiff residents to have eight recycling bags

Residents from Cardiff expressed mixed views about the new recycling bags.

Andrew thinks there’s enough recycling bags but will use the new ones. He said: “I’m not opposed to it but there’s so many recycling bags now”

Sandra, 27, didn’t know about the change but thinks it couldn’t come soon enough.

She said: “Rubbish bags don’t look very nice, but it’s more important that people recycle, “The more recycling we can do the better”

Ellie, 34, who works at a property managing company, feels neutral about the change.

She said: “I’m not bothered about new bags really it’s obviously important that we recycle but I hope the items do actually get recycled.”

Vin and Rhys both think the money used to provide new recycling bags should be used to improve the recycling centres.

Rhys said he’s seen the bin lorries mixing the waste so feels like it’s pointless having another bag.

They said: “I think the money should go into investing in the local recycling centre, it would make more jobs and waste would be sorted properly.”
