Recycling centre intiative
OPENING hours at Larne council's recycling centres in Glenarm and Redlands are set to change next month.
The initiative comes after a public consultation by council staff, which identified opening hours that are better suited to local demand.
Overall, there will be increased access to recycling at both sites, with seven day access at Redlands and extended evening opening at both centres during the summer months. The changes will take effect from Thursday, April 1.
Environment education officer Barry Tapster said: “The household recycling centres are very well used. We have high numbers of people actively participating in recycling, not just by bringing waste to the sites, but they are pre-sorting materials before visits.
“Since we opened both recycling centres, we have constantly been increasing the range of materials suitable for recycling. Our staff are always on hand to advise and help maximise any recycling opportunities and minimise the amount of waste that ends up in landfill.”
Mr Tapster added that Larne council was regarded as one of the best performing local authorities for waste management. He added: “We want to maintain and improve that record. There is always more we can do to reduce, reuse and recycle our waste. “
