Electric carts providing valuable door-to-door recycling collections across Wales are to receive a £30,000 upgrade thanks to the Welsh Assembly Government. The vehicles, known as Pedestrian Controlled Vehicles, are particularly useful for collecting household recycling in small, remote communities in Wales, where it would be uneconomical to provide a conventional collection service. The Community Recycling Network in Wales, will receive the funding to upgrade existing vehicles so they are better able to negotiate steep hills and carry a bigger load.
