Illegal waste disposal in South Dublin County
Illegal waste disposal operators are at present collecting waste illegally from households in South Dublin County. The public should be aware of the need to dispose of their waste in a proper manner according to the law.
All waste disposal firms should have a waste collection permit.

In 2013, the budget for cleansing and litter management for South Dublin County is €6.5 million. The money spent on this activity reduces the funds available for other activities such as the provision of playgrounds, sporting and recreational facilities, libraries and other good things that benefit all members of the community.
Remember - You are responsible for your waste. Persons found disposing of waste illegally or littering can receive a minimum fine of €150 or €3,000 in court. Illegal waste operators will be monitored and prosecuted.
