English: I absolutely agree, and that's why I think the Welsh Government, the UK Government and indeed all the legislatures across the UK need to work together in order to secure some change in attitude from manufacturers and supermarkets and other retailers. One thing I will say, though, is that it's really important to take the public with you on this journey. We've been successful as a nation in doing that to date, but when you reduce waste collection services to a four-weekly basis, which is the situation in Conwy at the moment, you really do begin to lose people's goodwill, and that is precisely what is happening in Conwy at present. We've got 10,000 households there who are on a four-weekly general refuse collection scheme. There has been an increase in fly-tipping reports. There has been an increase in rodent sightings. There are not just the issues of helping to educate people about how to dispose of waste more sensibly, but there are public health risks as well related to this. It cannot be right that pet waste sits in people's bins for four weeks at a time, because that can cause public health risks to the council workers who then go on to collect that waste. It cannot be right either from an equalities point of view that we have older people, sometimes with clinical conditions, having receptacles outside their front doors that identify them as being vulnerable. Because that is the situation in my constituency at the moment, and people are very unhappy about the new regime. So I would urge you, Minister, to consider what you might be able to do as a Welsh Government in order to promote the ability of local authorities to work with their residents rather than against the goodwill of their residents in taking this agenda forward. We've called for residual waste to be collected no more frequently than fortnightly. I think that that would be a good step forward; it would reassure residents that, whilst they continue to go on this journey and to make every effort to recycle, that they're not going to be abandoned in terms of their public services. Just one final point if I may, and that is: local authorities also need to get their act together. I think it's wrong that we still see litter bins that take just one form of waste without being able to separate it in the way that you can in some local authority areas. Cardiff actually does a good job of this. There are very often bins with three holes in: one for paper, one for plastic products and one for other general refuse. But places like Conwy, whilst they're expecting the public to recycle in a certain way, don't have those sort of bins widespread across the county. So, local authorities need to get their house in order as well.
Welsh: Rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr, a dyna pam yr wyf yn meddwl bod angen i Lywodraeth Cymru, Llywodraeth y DU ac yn wir pob deddfwrfa ledled y DU i weithio gyda'i gilydd er mwyn sicrhau rhywfaint o newid agwedd gan wneuthurwyr ac archfarchnadoedd a manwerthwyr eraill. Un peth y gwnaf ei ddweud, fodd bynnag, yw ei bod yn bwysig iawn mynd â'r cyhoedd gyda chi ar y daith hon. Rydym wedi bod yn llwyddiannus fel cenedl wrth wneud hynny hyd yma, ond os ydych yn lleihau gwasanaethau casglu gwastraff i bob pedair wythnos, sef y sefyllfa yng Nghonwy ar hyn o bryd, rydych chi wir yn dechrau colli ewyllys da pobl, a dyna'n union beth sy'n digwydd yng Nghonwy ar hyn o bryd. Mae gennym 10,000 o gartrefi yno sydd ar gynllun casglu sbwriel cyffredinol bob pedair wythnos. Bu cynnydd yn yr adroddiadau o dipio anghyfreithlon. Mae mwy o gnofilod wedi eu gweld. Nid dim ond mater o helpu i addysgu pobl am sut i waredu gwastraff yn fwy synhwyrol yw hwn; mae risgiau i iechyd y cyhoedd yn gysylltiedig â'r peth hefyd. Ni all fod yn iawn bod gwastraff anifeiliaid anwes yn eistedd ym miniau pobl am bedair wythnos ar y tro, oherwydd gall hynny achosi peryglon iechyd y cyhoedd i weithwyr y cyngor sydd wedyn yn mynd i gasglu'r gwastraff hwnnw. Ni all fod yn iawn ychwaith o safbwynt cydraddoldeb bod gennym bobl hŷn, weithiau â chyflyrau clinigol, â chynwysyddion y tu allan i'w drysau ffrynt sy'n nodi eu bod yn agored i niwed. Oherwydd dyna yw'r sefyllfa yn fy etholaeth i ar hyn o bryd, ac mae pobl yn anhapus iawn am y drefn newydd. Felly byddwn yn eich annog, Weinidog, i ystyried yr hyn y gallech ei wneud fel Llywodraeth Cymru i hybu gallu awdurdodau lleol i weithio gyda'u trigolion yn hytrach nag yn erbyn ewyllys da eu trigolion wrth fwrw ymlaen â'r agenda hon. Rydym wedi galw am beidio â chasglu gwastraff gweddilliol yn amlach na bob pythefnos. Rwy'n meddwl y byddai hynny'n gam da ymlaen; byddai'n sicrhau trigolion, wrth iddynt barhau i fynd ar y daith hon a gwneud pob ymdrech i ailgylchu, nad ydynt yn mynd i gael eu hanghofio o ran eu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus. Dim ond un pwynt olaf, os caf, sef: mae angen i awdurdodau lleol wella hefyd. Nid wyf yn credu ei bod yn iawn ein bod yn dal i weld biniau sbwriel sy'n cymryd dim ond un math o wastraff heb allu ei wahanu yn y ffordd y gallwch mewn rhai ardaloedd awdurdodau lleol. Mae Caerdydd yn gwneud gwaith da yn hyn o beth. Yn aml iawn, mae gan finiau dri thwll: un ar gyfer papur, un ar gyfer cynhyrchion plastig ac un ar gyfer sbwriel cyffredinol arall. Ond mewn lleoedd fel Conwy, er eu bod yn disgwyl i'r cyhoedd ailgylchu mewn ffordd benodol, nid yw'r mathau hynny o finiau ar gael yn eang ar draws y sir. Felly, mae angen i awdurdodau lleol edrych arnynt eu hunain hefyd.
