Galway City Council has adopted one of the first kerbside recycling projects in the State which has been highly successful. We have achieved our 15 year targets for diversion from landfill in less than two years. People said it could not be done when we had the arguments about the waste management plan. Officials of the Department of the Environment and Local Government, managers from other county councils, sanitary officials and environmental engineers told us it could not be done, that Ireland was different from Nova Scotia. We are doing it in Galway and everyone is involved, from children in schools to pensioners of 95 years. It gives them something to talk to about after Mass in the morning. They ask each other about the green bins and other changes.
