UK Digital Recycling Tools

As part of its broader Waste and Recycling Strategy, Caerphilly Council has unveiled Recycle Right, an innovative digital platform designed to empower residents with real-time, hyper-local guidance on responsible waste disposal. Functioning like a user-friendly search engine, the tool enables users to simply input any item or material and receive clear, step-by-step instructions on how to recycle, reuse, repair, or dispose of it—based on local guidelines.

This smart solution not only enhances convenience for residents but also plays a vital role in helping the borough meet and exceed statutory recycling targets set by the Welsh Government. By offering accurate, borough-specific insights, Recycle Right streamlines the recycling process, reduces contamination in recycling streams, and supports more sustainable household waste practices.
