QUESTION NO.27

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

To ask the Chief Executive if any waste management initiatives are planned within the County in the coming months, like increasing the number of passes to the Ballymount Civic Amenity for community groups?

REPLY:

The following waste management initiatives are planned for the County in the coming months and these are specifically focussed on the approach to Halloween

• Door to door WEEE collections prior to Halloween will be organised by RecycleIT (formerly CCRI) on behalf of the Council.
• Passes will be provided to social credits applicants for access to the Council's Civic Amenity site at Ballymount, during the month of October only.
• The Council's Waste Enforcement & Licensing Section will advise all waste facility permit holders of their responsibility to deal with their waste in a responsible manner and to ensure bins /receptacles are not accessible to the general public for scavenging.
• Certain producers/suppliers will be advised not to present waste tyres or timber pallets to unauthorised waste collectors, as these inevitably end up being incinerated on bonfires and cause environmental pollution.
