Vol. 476 No. 2

Written Answers. - Recycled Waste.

Trevor Sargent

Question:

110 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment the percentage of domestic municipal waste collected in Dublin which is recycled. [6860/97]

The National Waste Database Report 1995, published by the Environmental Protection Agency, indicates that in 1995 the national recycling rate for household waste was 4.3 per cent. The report does not disaggregate this figure in relation to particular areas. Detailed information in relation to Dublin is likely to be published following completion of the waste management strategy study currently being carried out on behalf of the Dublin local authorities.
