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.”
