Environment
Questions
To ask the Manager if SDCC currently operate a Bulky Household Item Waste Collection in the Rathfarnham/Templeogue/ Firhouse/Bohernabreena area, and if not, are there plans to do so in the future so residents in the area who do not have their own transport can get these items removed from their premises and this service will also contribute to the circular economy.
To ask the Manager what is the safest way of disposing of Nitrous Oxide Cannisters, and if SDCC would consider providing specific bins for these dumped nitrous oxide containers at key locations in the Rathfarnham/Templeogue/Firhouse/Bohernabreena area, so that they can be disposed of in the safest way, as residents and business people are faced with the problem of disposing of them when they are dumped on their properties, and also if SDCC would consider a public awareness campaign to alert residents of South County Dublin to the safest way of dealing with this ever increasing problem for the area.
