£230,000 upgrade at recycling centre will improve facilities for Coalisland residents
Mid Ulster councillor Nuala McLernon has welcomed the start of major investment works at Coalisland Recycling Centre costing approximately £230,000, which are set to begin next Monday.
The Sinn Féin representive said the investment would deliver significant improvements to local waste management facilities in Coalisland.
She said in a statement: “Following the May 2023 Council Election, a Mid Ulster Council Working Group was established to review recycling centres across the district. The group brought together representatives from the four main political parties to assess the current provision and identify opportunities for improvement across the district.
“As a member of the Working Group, I worked closely with council officers to help secure this investment for the Coalisland Recycling Centre, which would support the successful development of the recycling centre. This investment will ensure the facility remains sustainable and that key health and safety issues are addressed for both staff and users.
Cllr McLernon continued:“These upgrade works represent a positive step forward for the area, delivering a safer, more efficient, and improved facility for the community.
“The Centre will close from 25th May for approximately three weeks to allow works to take place and will reopen following completion of the upgrade programme on the 15th June. For the duration of the closures, residents will be redirected to Drumcoo Recycling Centre in Dungannon.
Councillor McLernon added that she would like to thank the public for their patience while the upgrade is taking place.
