MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, October 09, 2023

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor L.Guéret 

To ask the Chief Executive if there are any plans to continue the radio advertising re safe disposal of disposable vapes that commenced on September 4th for a 2 week period.

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council runs a number of anti-littering and anti-dog fouling campaigns throughout the year.

As disposable vapes have become a more significant litter problem across the County, the Environmental Awareness Office decided to work with a local radio station to develop an advertisement campaign to highlight the issue. The advert on the safe disposal of vapes will be run again in Q4 2023 or early in 2024.
