Executive Board Member for Technical Services Cllr Hazel Evans said: āEveryone is welcome to come along, have a cuppa, and speak to our recycling officers and other service providers for advice on a wide range of issues in a relaxed environment.ā
It is hoped the event will help to raise awareness on why it is important to recycle our rubbish and encourage people to do more.
Cllr Evans added: āWe are now recycling around 60% of our rubbish here in Carmarthenshire and I would like to thank everyone for all their hard work. But I know with a little more effort and thought, we can recycle even more.ā
The council must achieve a recycling rate of 70% by 2024/25 or could face large financial penalties from Welsh Government.
