A NEW website has been launched to raise awareness of the need for alternative food and residual waste treatment facilities in the South West Wales region.

The South West Wales Waste Partnership includes the Carmarthenshire, Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Bridgend councils.

All five local authorities are committed to recycling and composting and are working together to find the most sustainable, cost effective, and practical solution for the treatment of food and non-recyclable waste.

The website www.southwestwaleswastepartnership.co.uk has been developed to provide as much information as possible to residents.
