Waste scheme ‘helped boost recycling’

Eddie Cassidy

Significantly, glass recycling in the same period, 2002-2004, increased by more than 40% to 1,176 tonnes while paper and plastic recycling generated 2,000 tonnes in the region.

The promising recycling trends were outlined to second level students, municipal authority members and business interests in advance of the planned opening, in coming weeks, of a new E3 million waste and recycling centre in Clonakilty.
