"A report on the recently completed Litter Bin Review was presented and considered at the last EPR&CC SPC.

It was noted that Litter Bin numbers are increasing steadily as commitments to provide bins at new locations are being given and delivered on. Public Realm will continue to examine bin requests as they are received and determine the need for each individual request, including this request for Ballyowen Lane (at the Willsbrook Road end).

The SPC meeting also consider the viability of installing compactor (Big Belly) bins and it was noted that a ‘big belly bin’ was trialled some years ago in Tallaght where  the bin was repeatedly vandalised and the trial deemed unsuccessful as a result.It was agred that 2 Big Belly Compactor Bins will be piloted, one in Rathfarnham Park and another in a street / village environmment, the location of which has not yet been determined."
