MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.5

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

 This committee asks that the CE installs additional recycling and bottle banks in the Adamstown parks an/or other suitable locations.

REPORT:

 As per the objectives of the SDCC Community Based Recycling Strategy, there are ongoing efforts to increase the number of bring banks sites in the county.

To action this, it is proposed to review council owned locations for compliance with the relevant siting criteria for new bring bank sites. As part of this review, priority is given to areas where there is considered to be a deficit of recycling facilities / bring banks and in areas of population growth such as Adamstown.

Within the area of Adamstown, SDCC have recently installed bottle and aluminium can recycling banks in the new car park at Tandy’s Lane Park. This is operational since July 2023. It is also planned to provide a bring centre at the redeveloped Airlie Park. This will be progressed once the park is open and it is hoped will be operational in early 2024.
