No recycling centre for Ballymote

A new recycling centre for Ballymote seems unlikely any time soon.

Councillor Dara Mulvey had asked the Council to outline what would be needed to provide one after he was contacted by the community of the greater Ballymote area who felt there was a need for such an amenity in the town.

Officials told Cllr Mulvey that there were already Bring Bank facilities for glass, cans and textiles in Ballymote.

Apart from the “questionable need” for such a facility, a suitable location would have to be found along with “substantial” funding to establish, operate and manage it.

“The annual cost of such a service would be significant,” he was told.
