Antrim Borough Council's Recycling Centre at Newpark, Antrim, has recently been the target of mindless acts of vandalism.

Many of the recycling containers, including some of which are Charity owned, have been burnt and their contents destroyed.

Michael Laverty, Environment Manager with Antrim Borough Council said: "Not only has this vandalism affected the Council but also, most importantly, local charity efforts as well. An Oxfam book and music bank was totally destroyed, rendering all donations made to the bank unusable. This ultimately results in a loss of very necessary income to the Charity."
