QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the amount of material intended for illegal bonfires collected over the month of October. 

REPLY:

At present the amount of material collected has not been quantified and will be done so after Halloween. The total quantity will be reported to the November ACM's by way of a Headed Item giving details of the Litter Management Plan.

To date there have been over 45 reports of stockpiles of illegal bonfire material, which have been visited and collected by the Public Realm section.

In 2018 SDCC collected over 500 tonnes of such material, we anticipate that a similar amount will be collected this year.
