COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, December 17, 2014

MOTION NO.5

MOTION: Councillor K. Egan

“That this Committee call on South Dublin County Council to place additional litter bins to assist Tidy Towns Clondalkin in the reduction of waste pollution in the area. Suggested black spots include outside South Dublin County Council Clondalkin Civic Offices and Clondalkin Main Street “

Clondalkin Tidy Towns aim is to generate awareness, co-operation and enthusiasm amongst the people of Clondalkin in a concerted effort to enhance the natural, historic and built environment of the village. As a local authority, having a particular black spot at the entrance to our civic building, does not support the enhancement of pride and morale in the community in setting high standards we aspire to. I call on the Chief Executive to examine the situation in view of placing additional measures to improve waste management locally.

REPORT:

There are currently 650 bins located throughout the county including locations in our villages and parks. Bin locations, routes and frequency of emptying of bins are reviewed regularly. The provision of bins in the Clondalkin Village area will be examined as part of the overall Village Renewal Scheme.

The policy in relation to bin provision and collection will be examined as part of the Litter Management Plan Review being undertaken by the Environment SPC and a draft report on same will be brought back to all area committees.
