COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 18, 2022

MOTION NO.6

MOTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

That this area committee agrees that the litter bins on the section of the Grand Canal Greenway that is within the Clondalkin ACM be emptied regularly. Currently a week can pass before the bins are emptied.

REPORT:                                                                                         

The litter bins along the Grand Canal, to the 12th Lock , are collected once per week, in accordance with the current contract, by a contractor operating on behalf of the Council. Unfortunately, between collections there is very regularly additional rubbish, often domestic in nature, placed adjacent to the bins. Waterways ireland, who are responsible for the Canal, arrange for the removal of larger items and also rubbish dumped away from the areas around the bins.

The matter of bin collection along the Canal is currently under review within the Council and and with Waterways Ireland.
