Local Authority
- Waste policy presents one of the biggest challenges to local authorities in Ireland today.
- EU and National waste strategies place onerous targets on local authorities for the recycling and diversion of waste from landfill.
- The Landfill Directive requires Ireland to reduce the volume of biodegradable waste sent to landfill to 75% of 1995 levels by 2010. By 2013, the volume must be reduced to 50% of 1995 volumes, falling to 35% by 2020.
- Greyhound’s key focus is on strategic planning, implementing and overseeing waste management programmes.
- Creation of sustainable, cost-effective services and operating within local authority budgets are Greyhound’s strengths.
- The combination of in-house expert technical knowledge and consultancy skills enables Greyhound to provide a unique leading edge service that will enable projects to be successfully developed and completed.
- With our proven track record, we develop tailor made solutions for local authorities nationwide depending on geographical and sociological variants within different counties.
- We have created, piloted and implemented recycling infrastructure schemes including material recovery and composting throughout Ireland. This enables us to help local authorities to implement Government's National Waste Strategy with its statutory recycling targets.
- We operate different mechanisms for the recycling of waste including bring banks and civic amenity sites.
- Throughout Ireland, Greyhound operates a number of these sites within local authority contracts, providing a vital service to the community and making available a simple and convenient method for disposal of bulky or special residential wastes.
