Rejected petition Make Wales Tidier! (Turning Concern into Action) - Nature Still Has No Voice!
The introduction of new recycling procedures in Cardiff and the Vale has had a significant impact on waste management in the region. While the aim of these procedures was to increase recycling rates, they have inadvertently led to several negative consequences. These include an increase in fly-tipping, a decline in street cleanliness, and irregular waste collection services. Additionally, the closure of waste collection sites and the lack of general waste skips have burdened residents.
More details
New recycling rules in Cardiff & Vale meant to increase recycling have unfortunately had some bad side effects: more fly-tipping due to confusion and less frequent bin collections; dirtier streets because of more waste and irregular collections; and closed waste sites forcing people to travel further to get rid of rubbish. This is especially hard for people without cars and may lead to more fly-tipping. There are also worries about who pays for fines given to councils that don't recycle enough. The Senedd needs to look into these problems, make the rules clearer, provide better services and make sure everyone can easily get rid of their waste. Investing in waste management infrastructure: Ensure adequate resources for street cleaning, waste collection, and disposal facilities. By taking action through Section 20 of the Future Generations Act 2015, we can work towards a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable Wales for everyone.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.
Waste management is the responsibility of local authorities in Wales. If you wish to ask the Future Generations Commissioner to undertake review work in this area it may be better to contact his office directly.
