Maurice’s win is a major coup for Dublin’s Southside, as homes on the Northside have consistently been shown to recycle more waste, according to Greyhound Household’s General Manager John Brosnan. He underlined the need for spreading the word about recycling at home this time: “With new pay-by-weight legislation due to be implemented next year, it is important that households review their recycling habits. Although waste segregation in the city has risen greatly over the past three years, there is still room for improvement. The new legislation will encourage recycling, and in many cases help people save on waste collection bills.”
