MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 26, 2019

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive provide a report on the full costs of cleansing in the Lucan area within the last 4 years (2015 - 2018) and also provide a cost of cleansing in the year in which the Council changed the bin collection from Council provision to private companies.

REPORT:

It is not possible to provide costs for cleansing / illegal dumoing on an electoral area basis.

The Council exited the waste collection service in April 2011, and the following is an outline of the countywide costs incurred in cleansing / managing illegal dumping over recent years.

** Given the changeover to the current structure of Public Realm operation, and to the associated budgetary reporting in and around the time of sale of the waste collection service, it is not possible to give a comparative figure for 2011.
