A recycling box on Pen y Bryn Road, Colwyn Heights, where the trial will be conducted Picture: Mari Jones (clear for use by all partners) A leafy area of Colwyn Bay will be the first in Wales to trial a digital deposit return scheme on plastic bottles. The four-week pilot, a partnership between Welsh Government, Conwy county council and Polytag Ltd will start next spring. Homeowners in Colwyn Heights will receive plastic bottles filled with Prince’s Gate spring water and stamped with special QR codes. All residents need to do is enjoy the water and throw the empty bottles into their recycling as normal.
