MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor J. Hannon

To ask the Manager to provide details of the 'priority areas' where litter bins have been erected in 2010, to date, and where it is planned to provide same during the remainder of this year?

REPLY:

The Council's policy on provision and replacement of litter bins is as follows: requests for additional litter bins are examined by the Cleansing Engineer based on reports from the local Litter Warden and the Cleansing Inspector having regard for footfall and  litter arising in the area, proximity to litter generators (e.g. shops, schools etc.), as well as route capacity, staffing and litter bin coverage in the area.  Where bins are damaged or otherwise unsuitable for continued use they are removed and listed for replacement.
