SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 19, 2017

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

"Following on from numerous requests from Councillors at Tallaght Area Committee Meetings, will the Chief Executive give a final commitment to remove the Bottle Bank from its current location on Avonbeg Road. At a recent Meeting, residents expressed their disappointment that their many requests for the removal of the Bottle Bank have been ignored over the years, and that its continued presence is a major cause of littering and dumping in Avonbeg and that it has no place in an established residential area?"

REPLY:

"The bring bank site on Avonbeg Road is a very valuable site with a high level of usage and a large quantity of glass recycled through this facility each year.  Attempts have been made in the past to identify a suitable alternative site for the facility however no such alternative has been identified to date.  When the issue was last raised a commitment was given to explore the possibility of relocating the site to the other side of Seskin View Road, along the entrance road to the Bolbrook Enterprise Centre.  This proposal has not been examined in detail as yet, however this will now be done to determine if this is a viable alternative location for the facility."
