“I don’t recycle as much when I am out and about, I just bin it,” admits Gerwyn Pugh, 56, from Barry.<\/p>\n
“It’s routine [at home], but out and about every bin takes a bit more time to work out.”<\/p>\n
James Jenkins, 30, said he often took rubbish home with him given the limited options where he works.<\/p>\n
“We only recycle cardboard because that’s our only waste.<\/p>\n
“The more industrialised businesses need to do more, because they’ll have more of an impact than smaller businesses.”<\/p>\n
Natalie James, 47, said she recycled “probably about the same” at work and at home.<\/p>\n
“Because I work at a hospital we’ve got the recycling categories everywhere, so we have to.”<\/p>\n
Although businesses in Wales are now required to sort their waste into six categories, collection arrangements can vary from area to area.<\/p>\n
In the Vale of Glamorgan, businesses use a mix of council and private services, and the local authority said the change has resulted in a “higher quality of recycling”.<\/p>\n
Carys Stephens, the council’s waste project officer, said there had been a “fantastic response from businesses.”<\/p>\n
“There’s obviously going to be some that are critical of the idea, and they’re worried about extra costs and effort that goes into segregated recycling.<\/p>\n
“But we’ve been doing segregated recycling for a couple of years now, and most people just take it in their stride.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
