PEOPLE in Killarney and other parts of the county are being encouraged to observe social distancing guidelines at the county’s civic amenity sites and recycling centres.
Kerry County Council operates five civic amenity sites – including Coolcaslagh – with similar facilities in Milltown, Kenmare, Caherciveen and Lios Póil and, in recent weeks, the sites have become particularly busy.
The council is asking customers to make sure that the guidelines around personal distancing are observed for the benefit of members of the general public and staff.
Anyone attending any of the centres is asked to be patient because of increased activity and due to requirements around social distancing.
Kerry County Council is also asking those visiting the centres to use debit or credit cards and contactless technology for payments as much as possible.
Meanwhile, local bring banks around the county for recycling cans, bottles and glass are also experiencing large volumes of people.
To increase capacity, members of the public are asked, where possible, to squash or crush aluminium cans where these are being deposited.
The number of collections from bring banks is being increased as required and there are approximately 100 bring banks around the county.
