Residents give council ultimatum on recycling

A COMMUNITY association has told Cork County Council it can no longer accept a recycling facility in its area and has given the local authority seven days to remove it.

While the people of Douglas are less than happy with the state of the facility, the people of Cobh say their only recycling centre is incapable of dealing with demand created by a local population of 12,000.

Douglas Community Association wants the council to remove a recycling centre from the community park because of what members claim is a lack of proper maintenance.
