SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 26, 2024

Headed Item.17

QUESTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive for a progress update on the provision of bottle banks for residents in the North Clondalkin Area.

REPLY:

As part of the Council's commitment to improving recycling infrastructure across South Dublin we have been continuously exploring new sites for the establishment of bring centres, including bottle banks and textile banks and we are now able to provide a positive development with respect to the area of North Clondalkin.  Following constructive consultations with the management of B&Q at their Liffey Valley Store, we have successfully installed bottle banks on this site. These banks have been operational since the March 20th. This has been publicised over the past weekend via SDCC’s social media platforms.

We will be monitoring the usage of this and other surrounding sites to ensure their effectiveness in serving the community's recycling needs. Furthermore, we remain dedicated to exploring additional sites across the county for the further expansion of the bring bank network.

The exact locations of our bring bank sites can be found via our interactive Bring Bank Map located at https://www.sdcc.ie/en/services/environment/recycling-and-waste/bring-banks/
