Recycling law...recycled

From 6 April 2024, non-domestic recycling law is changing in Wales. Under the new legislation, all churches and church halls will be required to sort waste for recycling more thoroughly to enable greater recycling rates and avoid the issue of potential cross-contamination.

Recyclable waste will need to the separated into six different recycling containers by the owner/manager of premises, or by the operator of an activity being held there. The categories include:

• Glass.
• Plastic, metal and cartons
• Paper and card
• Food waste

The Church in Wales has published a comprehensive guidance document that explains the new requirements in detail. You can download it here
