There must be something we can do with all the recycled materials now piling up in the country?
A dramatic drop in the prices paid on international markets means that Irish waste companies have rather a lot of material which they are currently storing, presumably with more arriving every day.

The cost of storing all this waste presumably means that companies will need an even better price if they are to recover their costs. Hence the suggestion that waste collection charges would have to go up.
But surely, since these are useful materials, there is something creative we can do with them? Some new businesses that could be started?
Suggestions on a postcard please to the Environment Minister's new action group, which has been given until mid-November to come up with some options.
