Guilty plea at Laganside Magistrates’ Court after Ballygowan Waste offences
A Belfast man pled guilty to three waste charges under The Waste and Contaminated Land (Northern Ireland) Order 1997, and fined £300 under Article 4(1)(a) of the Waste Order and £300 for each of two Article 4(1)(b)s of the Waste Order.
Bruce Duncan (45) of Windermere Park was fined £900 at Laganside Magistrates’ Court
for the breaches. On 5 April 2016, officers from the Northern
Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) conducted a visit of a site located at 95 Ballygowan Road, Ballygowan, where they observed various waste types such as plastics, cardboard and paper, all in the process of being shredded or baled. Other wastes noted on site included a small amount of scrap metal and furniture.
Mr Duncan stated he operated the site
and collected dry recyclables such as those found on the site. He then baled them on site, and then moved them to other sites which were authorised to accept them. His site did not have a licence or exemption
from the NIEA to keep or treat controlled waste, and his previous exemption to store and treat waste and his licence to transport waste had expired a number of years ago.

UKCM creates much- needed solution for repairing comb bars on containers
Industry innovator UK Container Maintenance (UKCM) has devised a way of replacing comb bars on steel containers, as part of a new addition to its’ unique repair and refurbishment services.
With manufacturers often claiming comb bars cannot be replaced, the technical team at UKCM developed a solution which restores this fundamental part of the unit and reduces the need to send damaged containers to scrap. Replacement comb bars (frontal receivers) can be fitted to
containers which have suffered damage to the lifting point, and cannot be rectified correctly. A replacement frontal receiver which meets BS EN 840/2 2012 (form A) is installed in-line with its original specification. Emma Elston MBE, CEO of UKCM, the UK’s largest family owned container repair and refurbishment company, said:
“Replacing comb bars on steel containers and offering comb bar protectors for plastic units will certainly benefit our customers and help them save money, as these can now be repaired rather than sending them to scrap.”
