Environmental Awareness Day
From Felinfoel and Glanymor & Tyisha Communities First:
Felinfoel Communities First teamed up with Glanymor & Tyisha Communities First to hold an Environmental Awareness day on 22 January 09. Residents from both areas including pupils from Bryngwyn School enjoyed a fun and informative day.
There was a slight change of plan last minute when Johnstown Recycling Centre cancelled due to staff having to travel to France to purchase new machinery! Thankfully the day was saved from being cancelled, when Neath/Port Talbot County Council agreed that we could visit one of their Recycling Centres in Briton Ferry.
The staff at the plant were very welcoming and provided us with an excellent tour of the Centre and an informative talk about what takes place at the Centre. The Centre collects and recycles a huge array of different materials including electrical, wood, metal, paper, tin, glass and cooking oil amongst many more.
The afternoon was held in Trinity Chapel in New Dock Road, Llanelli where residents were offered a free buffet lunch which was followed by several discussions/presentations on Environmental issues and projects.
As the day was such a success, a trip to Johnstown Recycling Centre will be re organised in the future if there is enough interest between the wards. If you are interested in attending please contact Communities First on 01554 784847.

Ymunodd Cymunedau yn Gyntaf Felin-foel â Chymunedau yn Gyntaf Glan-y-môr a Thŷ-isha i gynnal diwrnod Ymwybyddiaeth Amgylcheddol ar 22 Ionawr 09. Bu trigolion o’r ddwy ardal, yn cynnwys disgyblion o Ysgol Bryngwyn, yn mwynhau diwrnod difyr, llawn gwybodaeth.
Cafwyd newid bach i’r cynlluniau ar y funud olaf pan ganslodd Canolfan Ailgylchu Tre Ioan y trefniadau oherwydd bod rhaid i’r staff deithio i Ffrainc i brynu peiriannau newydd! Diolch byth, daeth Cyngor Castell-nedd Port Talbot i’r adwy, a chytuno y gallem ymweld ag un o’u Canolfannau Ailgylchu nhw yn Llansawel.
Roedd y staff yn y ganolfan yn groesawgar iawn, a chawsom daith wych o amgylch y safle a llawer o wybodaeth am yr hyn sy’n digwydd yno. Mae’r Ganolfan yn casglu ac yn ailgylchu amrywiaeth anferth o wahanol ddeunyddiau, sy’n cynnwys eitemau trydanol, pren, metel, papur, tun, gwydr ac olew coginio, ymhlith llawer mwy.
Cynhaliwyd y prynhawn yng Nghapel y Trinity, Heol Doc Newydd, Llanelli, lle cafodd y trigolion ginio bwffe am ddim, ac wedyn nifer o drafodaethau/gyflwyniadau ar faterion a phrosiectau Amgylcheddol.
Gan fod y diwrnod wedi llwyddo cystal, byddwn yn ail-drefnu ymweliad â Chanolfan Ailgylchu Tre Ioan yn y dyfodol os bydd digon o ddiddordeb yn y wardiau. Os hoffech ymuno, cysylltwch â Chymunedau yn Gyntaf ar 01554 784847.
