Courtown Community Council and Meals On Wheels Gorey have launched a new recycling collection service for users in the Courtown area supporting the Re-turn Scheme!
The Re-turn Scheme is a circular economy initiative, capturing a higher quality of recycling and maximising existing resources. By reusing and recycling more effectively, it saves energy and water, reduce landfill and there is a lower impact on the planet.
Supporting the scheme as part of the key sustainability commitments is Meals On Wheels Gorey made under the Courtown Circular Economy Plan. The service was launched on the Courtown service, and if all goes well, it will be extended to the Gorey service.
“As strong advocates for inclusion, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to take part in sustainability initiatives, regardless of their circumstances. We understand that many of our service users may face challenges in participating due to mobility, isolation, or other limitations—so we’re bringing the scheme directly to them,” said Chairperson Colin Webb, who added; “By offering this service, we’re expanding the service we offer and also making sure everyone can take part in recycling, no matter their circumstances. That’s why we are the first Meals on Wheels service in the country to offer this kind of recycling support!”
