Ulster Wool advice on collection sites

They have a team of trusted collection sites right across Northern Ireland consisting of farmers and merchants from different backgrounds, assisting Ulster Wool during specific times of the year due to sheds needing to be cleared for stock themselves.

As part of Ulster Wools’ continued efforts in service improvements to farmers, they are wanting to help communicate cut-off dates for specific collection sites.

Ulster Wool Depot Manager Jayne Harkness-Bones commented: “We are very lucky to have such a dedicated team of people working on behalf of our producers external to the depot environment, very often giving their own time to help local farmers to help get their wool in, this year in particular.”

Due to winter fast approaching there are a few of the collection sites that need to have their sheds cleared within the next week. These are:

Waste Not - Ballybrakes Business Park, Ballymoney

McKelvey Bros - 34-46 Lisburn Street, Ballynahinch

Old Manor Mill - Mill Street, Newtownards
