Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:50 pm on 14 June 2016.
I thank Darren Millar for his question. I was aware Conwy are going to pilot to trial four-weekly collections. I think they’re starting at the end of next month. We, as a Welsh Government, don’t have a policy for monthly collection of non-recyclable rubbish. It really is a matter for local authorities to decide the frequency of their waste collections and what’s best for their community and their local populations. I have no plans to enforce any specific collection frequency arrangements on them.
In relation to pet waste, that’s not something that has come across my desk in these early days. But I think you do raise a very important point about pet waste and I’m happy to have a look at that and write to the Member.
