Thank you to everyone who recycled their unwanted electrical items and also the staff, Mr John Brennan and Mr Maurice McCambridge at the Amenity Site for issuing the tickets for the draw.

“Producers of electronic goods and batteries work with registered recycling schemes, such as ERP, to collect and treat WEEE and batteries on their behalf,” said Charlotte Budd, Regional Account 
manager, ERP/

“ERP members include Electrolux, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Samsung and Sony. ERP has worked with all of the Northern Ireland Councils since the start-up of the WEEE Directive in 2007, collecting in excess of 50,000 tonnes of WEEE and household batteries from the region during this time.”
