QUESTION NO.13

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive the timeline and quantity of solar bins planned for the Clondalkin , Newcastle , Rathcoole , Saggart and Brittas local electoral areas (LEA)?

REPLY:

The current plan for the rollout of solar compactor bins is to install them in a number of villages across the county in the first instance.  The locations where they are being installed initially are Clondalkin Village, Lucan Village, Tallaght Village and Rathfarnham Village.  The next phase will see bins installed in other village locations/urban centres.

It is proposed to install 20 solar compactor bins in Clondalkin Village.  These will replace existing bins which will be removed as part of the process.  Installation will take place in January/February 2026.
