Mr Middleton said that it has been discussed publicly that a decision has been taken in the Antrim and Newtownabbey area to outsource brown bin collections in Antrim and black bin collections in Newtownabbey. Gary Middleton MLA said “I contacted senior council officers to confirm that no such plans are in place to undertake a similar position in the Derry City and Strabane District Council area. "I had been contacted by a number of council employees on this matter. I have today received confirmation that there are no plans to privatise these services within our council area.”
