Pembrokeshire's 'orange bag' recycling scheme has now expanded to include an extra 15,500 properties. In total, around 39,000 householders can now put their recyclable waste out in orange bags once a week. The recyclable materials are collected by Pembrokeshire County Council, who take them to a Materials Recycling Facility near Haverfordwest to be sorted and sent away for reuse. People can put all sorts of paper, magazines, cardboard, plastic bottles, and steel and aluminium tins and cans, in the orange bags. "We are really pleased with the feedback from the scheme, which indicates that it is very popular with householders," said Clr. Huw George, cabinet member for the environment, planning and regulatory services. Pembrokeshire County Council is committed to reducing, reusing and recycling as much of the waste generated in the county as possible. The number of recycling banks around Pembrokeshire has just been increased to 160, while the six Civic Amenity and Recycling centres are being continually upgraded to enable you to separate more of your waste. Clr. George added: "There are strict targets in place for us to reduce the amount of waste that is sent to landfill. "We are currently exceeding them and are working hard to ensure we continue to do so."
