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

 

Senator Bradford made an interesting and thought provoking contribution, in which he described the waste collection system in operation in County Waterford. The system, which possibly operates in other counties, should be held up as a model for our local authorities. It operates on the basis of the separation of waste into two bags, one of which is used solely for recyclable materials while all other waste is placed in the second bag. The waste is then brought to a central location where the recyclables are separated. This model should be widely promoted.
