At a meeting of the council’s Environmental Services Committee last week, Bann UUP Councillor Richard Holmes highlighted that after busy days at Castlerock beach, the bins were “full and overflowing”.
He said: “I know in Portrush and Portstewart the council very successfully added some new bins to soak up that additional capacity.

A council officer confirmed that within the last week new bins were installed at the entrance to the beach.
Causeway DUP Alderman Sharon McKillop highlighted similar issues at Runkerry Beach in Portballintrae.
She said: “There is a temporary bin at the beach at Runkerry but there is definitely a need for a bin at the entrance to the beach for rubbish.”
A council officer said: “I’ll take your points on board and see what we can do,” he said.
