The following tabular statement sets out the information requested. These latest figures collated by my Department show that there were 68 local authority civic amenity sites and 1,891 bring banks in operation throughout the country at the end of June 2005. This represents a very significant increase since 1998, when there were only 837 bring sites and 30 civic amenity facilities nationally. In the same period, municipal waste recovery has increased from only 9% to the current level of 34%.
