I paste in the following paragraph regarding what was said on this subject at the local council meeting by a councillor:-
"New recycling charges
Cllr Linehan Foley said the new 3 gate fee at the civic amenity
site was unfair and counter productive. She said it would exacerbate
illegal dumping, whereas the original concept of free recycling
was to educate and encourage responsible waste disposal.
The Town Manager said Cork County Council provides both residential
and recycling services. She said the costs are extremely
high, with the Council providing facilities for the authority’s customers
and non-customers. She highlighted glass disposal as one
example of this. Recyclable material had the to be taken away,
which incurred further cost.
Cllr Hennessy said a flat fee should replace the ’pay-by-weight’"
You can verify this by checking out : 'Youghal News' newspaper, edition february 2009, Page 6. Or contacting Cllr Linehan.
Hope this helps to clarify 'fee charges at some council recycling centres'.
