Part of the debate – in the Senedd on 18 January 2017.
Motion NDM6205 as amended:
To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1. Notes Wales’ success in reaching 60 per cent recycling in 2015/16 and achieving the highest recycling rate in the UK and the 4th highest rate in Europe.
2. Accepts the autonomy of local authorities, in the spirit of localism, in deciding how often to collect residual waste whilst recognising that less frequent waste collections do not lead to increased fly tipping or constitute public health risks.
