SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 10, 2025

MOTION NO.8

MOTION: Councillor Y. Collins

That this Council considers a proper bin management strategy in relation to commercial bins in Rathfarnham Village. Currently they are crammed onto the footpaths and the island on the Main Street per attached photo and are an eyesore.

REPORT:

Under the South Dublin County Council Household & Commercial Waste Bye-Laws 2018, containers used for the presentation of kerbside waste shall be held within the curtilage of the premises where the waste is produced.

South Dublin County Councils Waste Enforcement section has written to all properties along Main Street reminding them of their obligations under the bye-laws.

Following a review of the impact of the warning letters issued, a Waste Enforcement Officer has been assigned to carry out in person inspections and any continuing non-compliances with the bye-laws will result in enforcement action being taken.
