Larac Wales Conference - Waste and Recycling Seminar
Venue: Maesmawr Hall Hotel, Caersws
Following last year’s successful seminar which focused on all the elements that will need to be included for you to achieve the 70% target that the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) has set you they have once again asked LARAC to organise another one-day seminar in conjunction with the WLGA. This year’s seminar focuses on legislative changes, commercial waste and effective campaigning.

The morning session concentrates wholly on the multiplicity of changes happening in the legislative framework governing waste and recycling in Wales. Whilst normally we like these events to focus on examples of best practice in the delivery of recycling services, we make no apology for the very concentrated morning session that focuses on the myriad of changes that are happening from the Waste Framework directive right through to the Municipal Sector Plans. Because of the weighty content WAG thinks this is a must attend event for all Welsh LAs.

The afternoon session then reverts to the practical and there are two presentations focusing on Commercial waste with the final two sessions on how to use the media effectively and the Wales’ national campaign.

Ten places are being reserved for CIWM members in Wales on a first come first served basis.

Please confirm your attendance to Colin Kirkby; LARAC, PO Box 28, Knighton, LD8 2WA by returning the form below or fax to 01544 267860 or via email: larac@btinternet.com. Please respond at the latest by Monday 31st May 2010.

Cymru Wales and North West Joint Event - Schedule 2 Wastes
Venue: Blakemere Craft Centre, Sandiway, Cheshire CW8 2EB
Schedule 2 of the Controlled Waste Regulations (CWR) allows Waste Collection Authorities to charge for the collection of certain types of household waste. The CWR no longer fulfill their intended function, because the costs of disposing waste is escalating and there is no provision in legislation to allow waste collection authorities to charge disposal costs. DEFRA and the Welsh Assembly Government are currently reviewing the CWR and have held informal bilateral discussions with a number of stakeholders and government departments. In advance of the possible legislative changes this Open Meeting intends to explore the impact on and associated issues for waste collection authorities, private contractors and the third sector.

For information and booking, please contact Jenny Watts (email below)

Cymru Wales Site Visit
Venue: Williams a Williams Cyf Recycling Site
In 1987 the Williams a Williams company consisted of one skip lorry and one tipper lorry. But since then, large investments have been made to achieve the present day standing of Williams a Williams: a shining example of best practice in terms of waste recycling as well as a company offering a high quality service to its customers and great support to its local community. The company has received various awards in recognition of its achievements such as the Green Dragon Level 2 Award, the Arena Network Awards in the category for Environmental Goods & Services and the Gwynedd Council Business Awards for their contribution to the environment. They were also the first to achieve the accreditation PAS402 2009 Green Compass by Construction Excellence Wales and one of the pathfinder companies.

The Company’s aim is to recycle and reuse as much as possible. Heavy investment in recycling technology has allowed Williams a Williams Cyf to recycle 75%+ in weight. The materials currently being sorted are soil, hardcore, metals, green waste, timber, cardboard and plastic. The future aim is to achieve 85% recycling. Recycled materials available from the yard are soil, both screened and fill soils, crushed hardcore, chipped wood for animal bedding.

Williams a Williams Cyf gives us the great opportunity to visit their site on:
