MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, February 20, 2013

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor M. McDonagh

To ask the Manager to provide a report on the cost to the Council from collecting illegal dumping in the Clondalkin area in 2012 and the projected cost of illegal dumping in Clondalkin for 2013?

REPLY:

The net expenditure for the Street Cleaning service that includes both the Cleansing and Operations sections which deal with removal of illegal dumping was approximately €6.5m in 2012 with a budget provision of €6.1m in 2013.  Due to the nature of the work in both these sections who may work in various locations throughout the working day, it is not possible to record tonnages collected for specific areas which therefore means that costs cannot be determined for such areas.
