Householders in Co Cork could face extra bin charges of up to €50 as Cork County Council approves plans to borrow over €100 million for the upgrade of waste disposal services.
Officials say the money is needed for projects like the proposed superdump at Bottlehill, the upgrading of landfill sites and the extension of the pay-by-weight system to all householders next year.
Earlier, it was announced that a decision by the Environmental Protection Agency on a waste management licence for the superdump would not be known until mid-June.
