Betws residents in spring clean!
Residents in Betws got rid of more than three tonnes of rubbish in a spring clean clear out.
Householders in Parc Penrhiw took part in a waste amnesty organised by Tidy Towns in partnership with Gwalia.
Residents were urged to take advantage of a one-off chance to dispose of any rubbish they had lying around at home.
Two skips were provided by Tidy Towns which were filled with 2.86 tonnes of waste in just two hours and a further tonne of waste was collected in a caged vehicle by Gwalia. As much of the waste as possible was recycled.
Tidy Towns project officer Simon Troake said: “The aim of the amnesty was to encourage residents to dispose of their waste responsibly and try to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up being fly-tipped as well as to remind householders to recycle as much of their waste as possible.
“By working together, we can make a real difference to the area in which we live and improve the quality of our environment.”
Tidy Towns is a Welsh Assembly Government-funded initiative which is delivered in partnership by Carmarthenshire County Council and Keep Wales Tidy. The aim is to encourage and support communities to improve their local environment.
