A recycling company is to terminate its kerbside household collection programme with effect from Friday.
MPact Recycling made the announcement on its website and social media pages.
“The kerbside programme was initially established to collect magazines and newspapers from households,” said John Hunt, Mpact Recycling managing director.
“The famous green ‘Ronnie bag’ has made a positive impact on the environment, as well as created a culture of recycling for residents since the programme began almost 30 years ago.
“However, as the recycling industry has evolved over time it has become necessary for Mpact to make changes to its collection processes.”

Hunt said Mpact Recycling was committed to creating opportunities for recycling.
“We encourage you to take advantage of the collectors in your area and our Ronnie recycler schools and communities programme.
“We will also continue to back the local municipalities and the various separation-at-source programmes they are running.”
Hunt said MPact had been deeply invested in the recycling industry for over 50 years.
“We will continue innovating and creating new mechanisms to enable people to participate in recycling to make a difference.”
Residents were urged to visit the company’s website for more information on where to drop off recyclables.
