Councils claim ‘no proof’ any of their rubbish in dump
Both Coleraine and Magherafelt Councils say there is no proof their waste ended up in Mobuoy. A Coleraine Borough Council spokesperson said: “Council have no evidence to suggest that waste collected by this Council ended up in Mobuoy. Queries should be directed to the NIEA.”
A spokesperson for Magherafelt District Council said it believes there is no evidence that any municipal wastes as collected by the Council were deposited in the site discovered by NIEA at the “premises of Campsie Sand and Gravel, Mobouy Road, Derry.”
“The Council has always complied with the requirements of the law in relation to the collection, transport and disposal of the wastes which it is required to collect and in particular with the requirements of the Duty of Care Code of Practice as published by the NIEA. The Council keeps all of its waste management operations under review and continues to work closely with NIEA in relation to such matters.”
