DUP DELIVERS POSITIVE CHANGE FOR CASTLEREAGH SOUTH RESIDENTS

Following lengthy lobbying by the DUP Group on Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, I am delighted to inform residents that the new 3-bin waste collection system will now be rolled out over the coming months. ✅

This new harmonised system will bring consistency right across the council area and will see households in Castlereagh South move to:

🗑️ Black/Blue bin , General Waste
♻️ Green bin , Recyclable Waste
🍂 Brown bin , Food & Garden Waste

All bins will be 240l not the proposed 180l that all other parties in Castlereagh South had agreed to before the last election.

This is a change many local residents and the DUP have been requesting for some time following the ongoing difficulties and concerns surrounding the current Bryson kerbie box scheme.

I welcome the decision taken at last night’s council meeting and look forward to seeing the implementation and harmonisation of the council bin policy across our city. 👍

Residents in Castlereagh South will no longer feel like second-class citizens within LCCC, and working alongside my DUP colleagues, I am pleased that we have been able to help deliver this positive change for YOU.

I will continue to keep residents updated regarding the rollout process and implementation dates as further details become available. 👇
