MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 12, 2017

QUESTION NO.10

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the proposed pilot scheme for waste disposal on halting sites throughout the Rathfarnham Templeogue-Terenure area?"

REPLY:

"The provision of a waste collection service to Halting Sites has proven problematic over the years due to many and varied reasons.  In an effort to ensure the continuation of a waste collection service to the sites the Council sought prices from a number of waste disposal companies for the provision of 2 large 1,100 lt bins and a green waste bin per unit.  These prices have now been received. It should be noted that for the service to work it is necessary for all the families on site to sign up and agree to the payments being deduced directly by way of household budget.  The next step in the process is to discuss the matter with the LTACC subcommittee on management of sites with a view to getting a pilot site (or two) in which to trial the service."
