Part of 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services – in the Senedd at 2:50 pm on 5 December 2018.

Exporting this material adds to our carbon footprint, of course, but also means that we are missing out on an opportunity for job creation. Do you agree that the Welsh Government should be doing more in terms of working with local authorities to develop regional recycling centres in Wales to ensure that all recyclable materials are dealt with here in Wales?
