EPA orders waste firm Country Clean to stop accepting food waste

The EPA confirmed last night that Country Clean Recycling, one of Ireland’s largest waste processing companies, which controls most of the waste collection routes in Cork City and county, has already exceeded its annual tonnage limit for separately collected bio-waste — the brown bin waste — that it is allowed to process at its Churchfield facility, just nine months after it was licensed to handle waste.
The EPA has told the company to stop accepting food waste at the facility with immediate effect.
