§ Mr. Nicholsonasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many and which councils in Wales operate a refuse disposal collection through contracts with private companies.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsNo waste disposal authorities in Wales operate a refuse collection service exclusively through contracts with the private sector. Carmarthen district, Blaenau Gwent, and Merthyr borough councils operate a partial collection service under contract with private companies. A wide variety of contractual relationships exist for some aspects of waste disposal.
