MOTION NO. 18

MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

That this Committee notes that according to figures given in reply to my Question to the Manager at the December 2011 County Council Meeting, approximately 2900 householders in the Lucan EA are in receipt of a waiver from Greyhound Waste Management until April 2012, in accordance with the terms of the transfer of undertakings agreement between that company and the Council, and requests the Manger to find out from Greyhound Waste Management, as a matter of urgency, when the company will notify those householders of the ending of the waiver, and what the company intends to do in regard to the payment of a fixed charge by householders currently in receipt of a waiver, what the level of the fixed charge will be, and when the householders involved will be required to make payment?

REPORT:

At the time of the sale of the Waste Collection Service to Greyhound, all customers were written to regarding the new arrangements.  Waiver customers were also written to at that time informing them that the waivers would be honoured for one year from the sale of the service.

Greyhound Recovery and Recycling Limited have undertaken to write to all current waiver customers regarding the new arrangements from 1st April, 2012.
