The centre is more than double the size of the existing facility to cater for some 40,000 residents.

Located directly opposite the current recycling site, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council says the new HRC will help divert over 1,000 tonnes of waste from landfill each year.

It will also result in more efficient waste compaction and haulage, with new material streams for recycling and a reduction in carbon emissions.
