Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has drafted a new Waste Collection Service Policy, reviewed by the Environmental Services Committee in December 2025, aiming to bring bin rules for the whole borough into one document. It confirms standard 240-litre black, blue and brown bins, closed lids, bins out by 7am, and that recycling bins with wrong items won't be emptied until corrected. Council data show recycling has risen to 50.4%, with a target of 60% by 2030, partly through enforcement of correct bin use and litter fines. No major service disruption or public backlash over collections has been reported in the past year; the main change is this policy tidy-up.
