Recycling efforts in Newport are to be boosted by an extra £2.14 million over the next year, thanks to a redistribution of taxpayers money by the Assembly Government. Local AM John Griffiths has welcomed the announcement from the Welsh Assembly Government of the additional cash to increase recycling and composting and cut landfill in Newport.The funding is part of a £50 million Wales-wide package to local authorities under the Assembly Government’s ‘Sustainable waste management grant’. This is an increase of £15 million over the previous year. John Griffiths, AM for Newport East, said: “This is a major investment in the way our waste in Newport is managed, which will lead to more recycling and composting and less waste going to landfill.
