The Regional Waste Plan provides a long-term strategic waste management strategy and land-use planning framework for the sustainable management of wastes and recovery of resources in South East Wales.

The Welsh Assembly Government has given the responsibility of preparing, monitoring and reviewing the plan to the South East Wales Regional Waste Group. This group is led by a Steering Group of councillors from the 11 local planning authorities in the region with a Technical Group of officers from local government, the Welsh Assembly Government, Environment Agency Wales and other government bodies, and representatives from the waste industry and environmental groups.

The first Regional Waste Plan was agreed by the Members Steering Group, endorsed by all of the local authorities in the region and published in March 2004.

The Regional Waste Plan 1st Review process commenced in April 2005. An extensive public and stakeholder consultation on the Consultation Draft Regional Waste Plan 1st Review document is taking place for 10 weeks between 15 October 2007 and 24 December 2007. The final Regional Waste Plan 1st Review document will be published in 2008 after taking into account the feedback received during the consultation period.

This website provides detailed information about the South East Wales Regional Waste Group, the first Regional Waste Plan, and the Regional Waste Plan 1st Review.

For the purpose of the Regional Waste Plans, Wales has been divided into three regions.The other regions are North Wales and South West Wales
