Limerick City and County Council has appointed sustainability and environment consultants, Meehan Green to undertake a comprehensive feasibility study aimed at developing a more efficient, sustainable, and visually appealing waste management system for Limerick City.
The Council wants the views from Limerick city centre residents about how waste is managed in their area.
This initiative, funded through the Mayoral Programme, represents a significant step toward addressing the operational and aesthetic challenges posed by the current waste management system, particularly in the city’s narrow streets, historic quarters, and key retail districts.
The feasibility study will examine how waste is stored, presented, collected, and recycled in the city centre. It will look at ways to improve the appearance of our streets, reduce environmental impacts, and make waste management more efficient and user-friendly.
Among the options being considered is reducing the number of mobile bins on streets and introducing permanent, aesthetically pleasing storage solutions such as dedicated waste sites or underground systems. The study will also explore opportunities for waste minimisation, better segregation, and streamlined collection processes.
Public feedback will help shape practical, sustainable solutions that improve our streets and support EU recycling targets. City centre residents are invited to share their views through an online survey. Your feedback will help shape practical, inclusive solutions that work for everyone.
