Mis Information roadshows will be held in each local authority area to continue to inform residents about 'Prosiect Gwyrdd' - A waste partnership to deliver a solution to residual waste after recycling and composting has been maximised in each area.

The issue of 'waste' affects everyone, everyone produces it and everyone needs to take responsibility to reduce the amount they produce and recycle and compost as much as possible. Recycling and composting is becoming more accepted by residents, with the majority using the schemes provided to divert waste from landfill. All 5 partner Councils are continuing to develop recycling and composting facilities and awareness campaigns to strive towards the challenging recycling and composting targets set by the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG).
Staff from the Project Team will also be available to answer questions. The next phase of roadshows will take place in the following areas:
• The Vale of Glamorgan: Saturday January 30, Barry King Square, Barry
• Monmouthshire: Tuesday February 9, Caldicot Market, opposite shoefayre, Newport Road, Caldicot
• Newport: Thursday February 18, upstairs in Newport Market, Newport City Centre (10am until 4pm)
• Cardiff: Saturday February 27, Queen Street, outside McDonalds, Cardiff City Centre
• Caerphilly: Tuesday March 2, Cliff Road/Hall Street car park Blackwood
Cllr Mark Stephens, Chairman of the Joint Committee governing the project said: "The first phase of roadshows was well received by the majority of people that attended. Waste isn't a very glamorous issue but it is an issue that affects everyone and we hope that the public take an interest and visit these events to learn about the project, the potential options available and speak to staff if they have any questions. All up to date information on the Project is also available online at www.prosiectgwyrdd.co.uk "
