ARE YOU PREPARED

          FOR WASTE






          MANAGEMENT





          LEGISLATION?








        In Wales, from 6th April 2024,
        new legislation will mean material
        that is prime for recycling must
        be separated prior to collection
        for processing off site and kept
        separate throughout waste
        processing activities.





          There are six streams of recyclable waste defined within the new legislation which are referred
          to as a facility’s “separation requirements”:




                   Food Waste – for any facility             Material Waste – Metals,
                   creating more than 5KG of                 Plastics and other packaging             Paper and
                   waste per week                            of a similar composition                 Card
