Recycling and composting would therefore save half of the waste being landfilled. Currently there are 14 recycling banks at supermarkets and car parks in the County Borough where glass, paper, cans and textiles can be taken. Household waste is collected by Wrexham County Borough Council, while business and industry appoint their own waste contractors. The two landfill sites in Wrexham County Borough are operated under strict regulations. In 1996 approximately 650,000 tonnes of waste were landfilled on these sites.
Furniture constitutes the main proportion of the fly-tipped waste.
This is unnecessary as the Civic Amenity sites take furniture free of charge.
