Recycling Practices and Guidelines

A third of Cardiff households are adopting a new recycling method involving three bins: a blue caddy for glass, a red sack for metal, plastic, and cartons, and a blue sack for paper and cardboard. The blue caddy is collected biweekly, while the red and blue sacks are collected weekly. This new system aims to reduce contamination and help Cardiff achieve a 70% recycling rate by 2025.
