MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.5

MOTION: Councillor P. Kearns

That this committee calls on the manager to install a big belly bin to replace the current regular bin beside the Astro pitch in Tymon Park.

REPORT:

A provision of €100,000 has been made in the 2025 revenue budget for additional litter bin provision similar to the provision of €100,000 in 2024 for the same purpose.  This creates a fund which is to be used to commence the roll out of smart, solar powered compactor litter bins across the county in urban centres and in priority park locations.   Once a plan of action has been drafted and suitable locations identified for the installation of this bin type, the elected members will be fully informed as to how this bin type will be rolled out across the county.  A tender process for the supply and installation of these bins will commence in the coming weeks.
