Part of a tip will be out of action for several weeks after a drainage system collapsed. Urgent maintenance at the Full Moon depot in Crosskeys in Caerphilly county looks set to cost £459,000. Caerphilly Council’s cabinet members will be asked this month to approve the funding for work including replacement drainage and concrete hard standing. The recycling and waste transfer station is expected to be closed for 11 weeks although the site’s household waste recycling centre, where residents can bring rubbish, will remain open to the public. The money for the repairs is expected to come from a Welsh Government initiative through which manufacturers pay to cover the recycling costs of their packaging.

Caerphilly Council will receive nearly £5.4million from the fund this year and has already committed £2million of that towards buying a new waste depot in Ystrad Mynach’s Duffryn Business Park. While the Full Moon’s publicly accessible recycling centre will be unaffected by the works, the council will temporarily move its residual waste to Cardiff and its recycling to an unspecified site “within the borough”. Cabinet members are expected to approve the proposed maintenance works and contingency costs at a meeting on Wednesday, September 17.
