The North Wales Regional Waste Plan 1st Review consultation period has been extended until the 29th of February 2008 to allow interested parties to submit any further comments. If you would like to comment on the plan please click on the External Link to the Regional Waste Plan website consultation page on the left. 

In the past Wales has relied on landfill for the disposal of its waste from households, commerce and industry.  Much of this waste is capable of being re-used, recycled, composted or treated to recover valuable materials and energy.  There are statutory targets in place at EU, UK and Welsh Assembly Government level that require all local authorities to divert increasing amounts of waste from landfill.  In order to divert this waste from landfill we will need a number of new facilities across the North Wales region.
The first review of the 2004 Regional Waste Plans is currently underway and this new consultation period will give everyone the chance to become involved in decisions regarding the waste technology options that are viable and the identification of suitable locations to site them.
