Laois County Council is introducing significant changes in how the public and waste operators access the Kyletalesha waste and recycling facility. 

The local authority says the road layout and payment arrangements at the landfill waste transfer station and recycling centre will change on September 18, 2023.

Under the changes, the council says all traffic entering the Kyletalesha facility shall proceed directly to the weighbridge. All recycling centre traffic will also have to proceed to the weighbridge.

All payments will be collected at the weighbridge office.
