QUESTION NO.4

QUESTION: Councillor C. King

To ask the Manager, when it is envisaged the roll out of the brown bin service will commence?

REPLY:

The provision of a three-bin service is contained in the Dublin Waste Management Plan.  A new facility to treat the brown bin waste is being established at Ballyogan and the tendering process is underway.  In the meantime it is proposed to run a pilot brown bin service to identify any issues prior to the full service being offered.  This pilot will involve targetting local authority and private housing; new and well established estates and a cross section of geographical areas and refuse freighter routes.   Discussions are underway with the Refuse Collection Service to ensure that the maximum possible benefit is gained from the initial pilot.  This pilot is likely to be run before the end of September.
