TUAM WASTE COMPANY VOWS TO RECTIFY COMPLIANCE ISSUE BY END OF WEEK

Date Published: 17-Dec-2012

Tuam firm WERS Waste has vowed to rectify an environmental compliance issue at the facility by the end of this week.

The company which is based on the Weir Road in Tuam has been ordered not to accept any more waste at its facility until the Council is satisifed that it is fully compliant.

The firm says it's working under direction from Galway County Council to address a minor compliance issue at it’s plant on the Weir Rd, Tuam.

It has moved to reassure customers that the Wheelie Bin collection services are not affected and will operate as normal.

The Environmental Protection Agency issued a Section 63 Notice to Galway County Council on December 6th after it became aware of issues at the Tuam facility.

This included completion dates and required the Council to follow up on issues including the prevention of further waste being accepted on-site to the closure of the facility.

The EPA carried out a site visit on Friday and is now happy that progress is being made.
