"Over the past year there was a numerous requests for additional bins in parks - can you confirm how many new bins were introduced and at which locations. Is there a plan to install a bin in bancroft park near the play area?"

REPLY:

A total of approximately 100 new bins have been provided in various locations around the county in 2021, with approximately 40 of these provided in the Tallaght area.  Additional litter bins have been provided in park locations at Sean Walsh Park, Dodder Valley Park, Ballymount Park, Kiltalown Park and Tymon Park during 2021.  In addition to new standard type litter bins the Council has also provided 1,100 litre container bins in Tymon Park in reponse to the increase in park activity and litter bin usage during Covid 19 restrictions.  The public realm section has given a commitment to install a litter bin at the playground in Bancroft Park and this will be done in due course.
