MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 23, 2024

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive ensures that staff rosters are scheduled in advance to ensure a timely emptying of bins at key congregation pinch points in Lucan, North Clondalkin and Palmerstown during the May, June and August 2024 bank holiday weekends, given that reports of overflowing bins have historically been highest at these times; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPORT:

To ensure that bins are managed at weekends staff are brought in on Saturdays to empty park bins.  On Sundays, staff are brought in to empty all bins that require emptying.  This includes park bins, bins in villages and bins on roads.  The bin emptying procedure that is in place for Sundays is repeated on bank holiday Mondays.  Staff rosters are scheduled in advance of Bank Holiday weekends.
