This project consists of the construction of a civic amenity facility on the outskirts of Mullingar, where the public can, for a small fee, bring their recyclables to the facility. The facility has been constructed using recycled crushed concrete in the sub-base and capping layers. Recycled asphalt planings have also been used in the surfacing layer. In terms of renewable energy resources, a wind turbine system has been erected at the southeast corner of the site to provide power to the electrical sockets and lights in the administration building. Also, a solar thermal heating system has been fitted to the roof of the administration building, which provides hot water to the administration building. Furthermore, the binder course of the tarmacadam contains recycled asphalt planings and the landscaped areas contain crumb rubber.
