Plans for airtight unit at waste depot in Cork City

Waste firm Country Clean has outlined plans to develop an airtight storage facility at its contentious waste depot on the northside of Cork City.

The company, which was fined €12,000 at Cork District Court in January for multiple breaches of the waste licence at the Churchfield depot last year, also plans to conduct daily odour tests around the facility.

The details are contained in a letter it has distributed to local residents in recent days as it continues efforts to minimise nuisance.
