A Galway businessman is urging the government to back Bulky Goods Recycling
Keith McDonagh, the manager of Galway social enterprise BBR Bounce Back Recycling, says such an action could have a huge impact on Ireland’s ability to reach recycling targets
Keith McDonagh says offering sustainable recycling of items like mattresses needs more Government support
He was responding to the latest assessment that Ireland is now almost certain to miss mandatory EU recycling targets to reduce waste levels.
BBR is launching a campaign in the New Year to encourage more furniture retailers to offer mattress recycling to their customers.
BBR offers a highly sustainable recycling service because they recycle by hand, and recover a higher rate of materials
Keith McDonagh is also proposing a year-round partnership with local authorities to ensure recycling happens every day
