Belfast City Council is planning to change how waste is collected in Belfast. The new sort-it-yourself scheme will cost millions of pounds and has already failed in other areas. In Summer 2018 alone, two English councils adopted the wheelie bin system to IMPROVE recycling. Meanwhile, here in Belfast, we are once again taking a step in the wrong direction.

We would ask the council to better educate people on the current system and invest in it. Self sorting is a waste of everyone's time.
