An illegal mountain of baled waste that can be seen from the Christchurch Northern Motorway will not be moved any time soon.

The 4000 bales of rubbish at a site on Spencerville Rd, owned by Renew Energy Ltd (REL) and ERP Group Ltd, are destined for a yet-to-be-built waste-to-energy plant in Belfast.
