Popped into my local @RepairCafeWales this morning with a keyboard that hasn’t worked in years.
Genuinely astounded when superstar Alex put it right within the hour. What an incredible voluntary service - diolch o galon!

🌍♻️ So proud of the fact that over 110,000 electronic devices were saved from landfill thanks to @Keep_Wales_Tidy's WEEE recycling initiative.
A positive step towards realising a more circular economy, and well done to the team for making it happen.

Michael, who turned 90 this year, has spent almost every day of the past 20 years volunteering in his community.
He’s rightly described locally as an “absolute legend”, and I’m so delighted that we were able to recognise his tremendous contribution today.
Da iawn Michael 👏🏻
It’s been such an incredible, inspiring day. Congratulations to all the winners and nominees.
You make an enormous difference, and you should be proud of the contribution you’ve made to Welsh communities.

Yesterday, Nature 2030 hosted a Parliamentary roundtable alongside @Keep_Wales_Tidy, discussing how Britain can lead the recycling revolution.
With a strong cross-party consensus on creating a circular economy, the new Government must take bold steps to protect our planet.
Edrych ymlaen | Looking forward to this👇🏻
@Keep_Wales_Tidy
We're looking forward to joining @natalieben @OwenDerbyshire @MarcelArsand today at the @UKHouseofLords for a @Nature2030 round table event, chaired and sponsored by Baroness Bakewell of Hardington Mandeville.
We'll be discussing how Britain can lead the recycling revolution♻️
