‘Eco park’ possible on shut landfill

Waste companies show interest in €48m mothballed Bottlehill site

A major ‘eco park’ could be operational at a mothballed landfill in Co Cork by the spring of 2017 after a number of waste companies showed interest in renting the facility.

That is the hope of Cork County Council which took the decision to ‘freeze’ the €48m site at Bottlehill two years ago because it was not deemed economically viable at the time to open it up.
