Cwm Harry Land Trust has taken over recycling and refuse collections in Presteigne and Norton to achieve zero waste to landfill and a 70 per cent minimum recycling rate.
The process, known as 'slow recycling', will focus on just 250 properties a day and is intended to allow more time to work with less confident households to increase their recycling and encourage higher participation and engagement.
Plans for the 70 per cent recycling rate are in line with the Welsh Assembly Government's ‘Towards Zero Waste' strategy, which targeted a 70 per cent recycling rate for household, commercial and construction waste by 2025.
The trial is set to use the existing recycling boxes and refuse sacks issued to residents by the waste disposal authority Powys county council.
Funding for the trial was secured from the Welsh Assembly Government through the Welsh community recycling network Cylch and is first intended to target 1,200 households in the Presteigne and Norton area and around 100 businesses.
Under the trial, Presteigne and Norton householders will be able to donate a percentage of the value of their recyclate to local charities and causes.
David Clarke, Cwm Harry Land Trust operations manager, said: "This project encourages people to open their minds to new ideas about waste management."
"Consumption habits are a huge obstacle to zero waste that Cwm Harry Land Trust aims to remove by promoting different lifestyle choices, awareness and education."
