Caerphilly County Borough’s latest £500 food waste recycling winner announced
Posted on : 07 May 2024
Mr Powell from Bargoed has been announced as the latest winner of Caerphilly County Borough’s Mash for Cash campaign.
The campaign sees houses monitored with one food recycling participant chosen at random each month to win £500.
The initiative was launched in March 2022 with an aim to increase food waste recycling participation and is funded by the business sector.
All Caerphilly County Borough residents are eligible to win the cash prize providing they put their food waste recycling caddy out for collection.
Caerphilly County Borough Council currently offer a weekly food waste collection service to all 80,000 households, where the food waste is taken for a process called Anaerobic Digestion, which where it is turned into a source of renewable energy.
Cllr Chris Morgan, Cabinet Member for Waste, Leisure & Green spaces said: “Caerphilly Council are currently exploring ways to boost our recycling rates, to ensure that we meet current and future recycling targets set by Welsh Government.
“Here in Caerphilly County Borough, we have great participation figures for mixed (brown bin) recycling, however our lack of participation of food recycling negatively affects our overall recycling rate. We are hopeful that with initiatives such as this one and our free food waste caddy liner trial, that we will see an increase in participation levels.
“A big congratulations to Mr Powell on his winnings. I encourage everyone to get involved to be in with a chance of winning the next cash prize.”
