What's happening?
It will become law for businesses, charities and public sector organisations to sort out their waste for recycling.
Why is it being done?
The Welsh Government are introducing this law to improve the quality and quantity of how we collect and separate waste.
What do I need to do?
The following materials will need to be separated for collection, and collected separately:
Food
Paper and card

Unsold textiles
Unsold small waste electrical and electronic equipment (sWEEE)
There will also be a ban on:
Sending food waste to sewer (any amount)
Separately collected waste going to incineration and landfill
All wood waste going to landfill
You can mix paper and card together in the same container, and you can mix metal, plastic, and cartons together.
