Denbighshire County Council is pressing ahead with plans to upgrade its recycling parks by submitting a planning application for a state of the art facility near Rhuddlan.
The proposed facility would be located near the old dual carriageway adjacent to the A525 on the outskirts of the town.
In the past, this brownfield site has been used as a general dumping ground.  In contrast, the proposed new Recycling Park would become an asset to the community and would encompass a small country park, giving public access to a small lake for the first time.
A cycleway would pass through the site and new views to nearby Rhuddlan Castle would be opened up. The Recycling Park itself would be fully screened by trees and landscaping bunds.
Head of Environmental Services, Steve Parker, said, “Most of the waste that comes into the existing sites is dumped rather than recycled, and this situation needs to be reversed.  We know that Denbighshire residents have a real appetite for recycling and will segregate more of their waste if we can provide the right facility.” 
The split-level design of Rhuddlan would address access for disabled people but would also incorporate a one-way traffic system,  to enhance safety and reduce congestion.
To meet a 40% household waste recycling target in 2009/10, Denbighshire must double the amount of recycling currently achieved at its Recycling Parks. The Rhuddlan site, which it is hoped would be opened to the public by April 2009, is a vital part of Denbighshire’s plans to achieve the huge increase in recycling that is needed.
No decision has yet been taken on the proposed facility.
