“We are looking forward to servicing our new communities. WERS customers can expect to receive the highest level of customer service, and a guarantee that 100% of the material collected will be recycled or recovered for energy.”

WERS Directors Pat, Martin and Paul Gleeson will concentrate on growing their plastics recycling business at their Weir Road facility in Tuam. Plastics recovered from WERS customers will continue to be handled at this facility.
