No

The Welsh Government and councils in Wales are collaborating more, which is helping to make recycling methods in Wales more consistent and is encouraging more people to take part.

The loss of the cornerstone of village life, such as banks and post offices, and poor infrastructure are causing challenges and councils struggle to find sustainable ways to help.
