SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, October 17, 2018

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask the Chief Executive  what enforcement can be done with Green and Black bins collection companies to eliminate litter after bin collections? - some areas are left particularly bad after bin collections?" 

REPLY:

The holder of household waste is responsible for waste presented for collection by waste collection companies and are required to ensure that the waste is wholly contained within the appropriate waste container.   Therefore household waste presented on top or to the side of the container is not permitted.

Similarly, containers used for the presentation of kerbside waste shall be maintained in such condition and state of repair that the waste placed in them will not be a source of nuisance or litter. 

The holder of any household waste presented for collection is required to collect all matter which may spill or escape from the appropriate waste container, howsoever such matter has spilled.
