Bridgend County Borough Council ranked as most cost-effective for waste services in Wales

Operating a fleet delivering approximately 80 tonnes of recycling per day across the county borough, the local authority reduced its household waste total net service cost by 7.4% in 2023-24, resulting in an average net service cost of £2.58 per household per week.

Bridgend County Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change and the Environment, Councillor Paul Davies said: “To be ranked consistently as the most cost-efficient waste service, while simultaneously achieving the highest recycling rates in Wales, at 73%, is testament to the council’s ongoing commitment to providing residents with a low-cost, high-quality recycling and waste service.

“With strategic investments in new vehicles, fleet maintenance and working practices we can continue to lead the way and ensure future success with an effective and sustainable service.”

Council adds eight new refuse collection lorries to fleet

The delivery of the latest vehicles takes the Council’s total investment to more than £8million and has seen a total of 35 new waste collection vehicles on the streets of Swansea during the last 12 months.

Cyril Anderson, Cabinet Member for Community in Swansea Council, said: “When we approved our annual budget for 2024/25, we committed to investing more than £8 million towards fleet replacement and I’m delighted this is now taking place.

“These collection vehicles travel vast distances over the lifetime of our vehicle contracts.

“It’s important that we ensure our fleet of waste collection vehicles are renewed and can provide us with the reliability we need to provide weekly collections for residents in the city.”

The vehicles were provided by family-run business NTM.

Martin Jones, NTM Area Sales Manager said: “It’s fantastic to see Swansea Council’s continued investment in their waste collection fleet, we’re committed to providing quality, reliable solutions to support the essential services Swansea provide to the city.

“We’re delighted to see the new vehicles in operation, and we look forward to continuing our partnership and supporting them in the future.”
