MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, April 22, 2024

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor D. Richardson

"Can the manger report on dumping in the Tallaght area and the cost to SDCC in the removal?"

REPLY:

It is not possible to provide details regarding the cost to respond to illegal dumping in the Tallaght area in isolation from the rest of the county, as this information is not collected on an electoral area basis.  On average a total of 5,500 tonnes of illegally dumped waste is collected per year across the whole county at an average cost of €1.4m to collect, transport and dispose of this waste at a licensed waste transfer facility.
