Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

I commend Kildare County Council on the great strides it has made in improving the dump, making sure it is better managed and that there are proper facilities there. I can bring small volumes of agricultural chemicals, which are a major problem in terms of their disposal, and they can be disposed of there. Some 30% of the weight of the waste going into the Kildare County Council landfill site in the recent past was paper. That is not by volume but by weight and is a vast amount. There is a large commercial facility for shredding documents which works very well.
