Powys
Councillor Jackie Charlton, Cabinet Member for a Greener Powys said: "Our crews are always so hard working, especially in the recent difficult circumstances faced by the service due to staff shortages, often working long hours to try and ensure rounds are completed, and bins are emptied.
"With collections scheduled throughout the festive period, we are encouraging households to make use of the service and reduce, reuse, and recycle as much of their household waste as possible.
"We all generate more waste than normal over Christmas and New Year, but most of it can be recycled - tin foil, food, glass jars and bottles, real Christmas trees, plain Christmas cards and wrapping paper, batteries, plastic pots, and bottles."
