Council recycling schemes for household food waste in Wales will benefit from a new grant package of £14million, announced by the Welsh Assembly. Thirteen local councils will be awarded between £714,000 and £3.137million over the next two years to help meet recycling targets. Schemes will collect household and kitchen food waste and turn it into compost or even electricity and fuel. Blaenau Gwent will also set up Wales’ first plastic bottle recycling plant.
