New Bins To Aid Fight Against Drug Use In Co L'Derry
A series of new bins have been installed across Coleraine and Limavady in a bid to combat drug use.
The RAPID (Remove All Prescription and Illegal Drugs) initiative aims to remove prescription and illegal drugs from streets.
Since 2010, over 100,000 tablets have been deposited in Belfast RAPID bins alone. Prescription or over-the-counter medication makes up 90% of the contents, but illegal drugs have also been deposited.
Following the scheme's success in Belfast, the Causeway Coast and Glens Policing and Community Safety Partnership (PCSP) collaborated with the PSNI to install the bins locally and explore further ways to combat drug abuse in the area.
The scheme is also being rolled out across Northern Ireland.
