People Before Profit Councillor Michael Collins says Collin residents area should be able to use Cutts Household Recycling Centre
Belfast residents should be able to use a recycling centre in the neighbouring council area of Lisburn and Castlereagh , as Belfast suffers new levels of “waste tourism,” a Collin area politician says.
“It says the issue has escalated since a neighbouring council has introduced a booking system for all site users in September 2023. I wanted to query, is that relating to the Cutts recycling centre and its refusal to allow Belfast to actually use it?” Councillor Collins continued: “I think this is wrong. There are thousands of people that live in the vicinity of this recycling centre who aren’t able to use it, who are being denied access to it, from areas like Lagmore, Poleglass and Twinbrook.
“It is particularly in those areas where there is a crossover, that councils need to work together. It is without precedence - you don’t go into a leisure centre and get asked for proof of address. “It is noted that all neighbouring councils have various policies and procedures in place, such as proof of residency or an online booking system for site users to restrict waste at their sites to that of their own rate payers.
