In the past few years Mid Ulster District Council have shown themselves to be at the very forefront of waste management in Northern Ireland by introducing a raft of new recycling services and initiatives aimed at reducing the waste that we send to landfill and protecting our precious natural resources.
As a result of these new initiatives the Council’s recycling rate has rocketed from 5–10% just 10 years ago to over 53% in 2010/2011. This is the highest household recycling rate in Northern Ireland and means that the Council is already meeting all their waste recycling and diversion targets for 2012/13 and beyond to 2020.
For more information on any of the Council waste management initiatives contact Mr John Murtagh the Council’s Environmental Projects Officer on 028 7939 7979 or john.murtagh@magherafelt.gov.uk
