To tie in with Tidy Wales week (19th – 25th September 2011) Tai Ceredigion organised ‘skip days’ for its tenants on various estates throughout the county. The events were hugely successful with up to 2 skips filled at a number of estates.
The aim of the scheme was to improve the local environment at the housing estates by allowing residents, who were unable to access large waste collections to dispose of large household waste appropriately.
Ceredigion County Council was awarded funding from the Welsh Government through the Tidy Towns Project and has worked closely with Tai Ceredigion to arrange for skips to be available to tenants at Brynrheidol, Llanbadarn; Tregerddan, Bow Street; Penllwyn, Capel Bangor; Maesheli and Rhydybont, Penparcau. The skips were also available for use to all residents on the estates.
