Waste collections once every three weeks will begin in Powys in a bid to save £500,000 a year and increase recycling rates.

Powys council said the move would help it meet the Welsh government's 58% recycling target by 2015/16, which rises to 70% by 2024/25.

The new collection cycles will start from the week beginning 23 November, external.

Weekly recycling collections, including food waste, will be unaffected.
