Lisburn and Castlereagh has approved a council-run recycling service that will collect glass with other dry recyclables in a standard bin. The phased plan provides fortnightly rubbish, recycling and food-and-garden collections, replacing kerbie or wheelie boxes where used. Residents are to receive advance information. The decision follows complaints discussed in January 2026 about prolonged missed collections in Castlereagh. Councillors described uncollected food waste and vermin concerns. Officers said contractor Bryson had apologised and was adding evening and weekend crews and recruiting staff. The new service announcement promises investment in vehicles and continued assisted collections.
