This committee requests the Chief Executive agree to carrying out a review of our public litter bins. Further to question raised and answered in previous meeting (October 21) and Given that "The issues of size, colour and shape of litter bins were not considered in that review" has been made clear, we now ask that our bins/design are considered for a review if its confirmed that our bins have not changed since their initiation.
QUESTION NO. 28 QUESTION:
Councillor L. O'Toole
Over the last 18 months+ we all experienced challenges in our parks in particular the demand put on our public litter bins/litter bin service. Can then Chief Executive confirms to members as to when litter bins (their size, colour, shape etc) were last reviewed.
REPLY:
A review of the litter bin service was carried out under the remit of the Environment, Climate and Public Realm SPC commencing in November 2016 and concluding in February 2017, with reports presented to both of those SPC meetings. This review examined a wide range of issues including the number of bins in service, the configuration of the collection routes, unauthorised use of litter bins, the issue of dog fouling waste, smart solar powered bins and a number of other issues. The issues of size, colour and shape of litter bins were not considered in that review. The operation of the litter bin service remains under constant review due to the changing nature of the demands on the service, increasing waste tonnages arising from servicing of bins and other issues. The 2017 report from the litter bin review then led to a trial of solar powered, smart street litter bins being carried out from November 2019 to May 2020 in the Rathfarnham area. Reports on this trial were then presented to the Environment, Water and Climate Change SPC at both the May and September 2020 meetings of the SPC. Reports and reviews listed above are available at the following link https://www.sdcc.ie/en/services/our-council/council-meetings/strategic-policy-committees/
