Environment Minister Praises Bryson Recycling
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan has praised Bryson Recycling for the introduction of a new recycling model across Northern Ireland.
Bryson Recycling is based in Mallusk and provides weekly recycling collections to over 170,000 homes across six council areas in Northern Ireland.
The group has been working with local councils including Newtownabbey and Castlereagh to increase recycling levels and awareness through the introduction of almost 5,000 wheelie boxes.
Minister Durkan said: "Bryson Recycling is a fantastic example of how the social enterprise model can deliver high quality, efficient and cost effective services while supporting 1,000 local jobs. The Company currently processes recyclables collected from over 60% of households in NI and also makes a concentrated effort to find local markets for these materials. It is encouraging to see the emerging Bryson model creating such interest across Councils in the UK."
Eric Randall, director of Bryson Recycling added: "The wheelie box design has allowed us to bring the next generation of recycling to the marketplace. It improves recycling performance, ensures high quality materials and makes the process more efficient for lifting and carrying. This product along with our new vehicles provides a cost effective model that many council areas in NI, Wales, and Scotland are now looking upon as a reference point.
“Kerbside sort recycling is the future and we are delighted to be at the forefront of innovation in this area. The Bryson model allows us to collect household waste in a way that continues to deliver high quality recyclable materials which can be recycled locally. This in turn helps to sustain employment and protect the environment for future generations."
