Waste Prevention
EPA LAPN programme: Cork City and County Council have received funding for a Community Paint ReUse scheme under the EPA’s LAPN ( Local Authority Waste Prevention Network). The proposal is that Northside Community Enterprises (NCE) Farranferris will collect paint from Cork City’s civic amenity site while a different social enterprise will collect from a Cork County civic amenity site. The social enterprises will then remix, recolour and repackage the paint and sell on to community groups at a much-reduced cost. The Rediscovery Centre
