Waste transfer station welcomes Cabinet visit

Staff at the Council’s Waste Transfer Station at Denbigh recently welcomed members of the Cabinet for a guided tour around the facility.

Staff highlighted to the Cabinet members the importance of efficient recycling services in protecting the environment, improving sustainability, and making the best use of resources across Denbighshire.

By observing how the station operates, the cabinet members were able to see the practical challenges and benefits of a modern recycling systems and the role they play with residential support in supporting a stronger sustainable future and cleaner environment.
