City Council Anti-dumping initiative – North Inner City

Further steps are now being taken by Dublin City Council to combat the scourge that continues to be illegal dumping. Within the North Inner City, an anti-dumping campaign has been launched where illegally dumped bags on a targeted number of streets will be searched and collated.

Additional temporary signage will be erected informing the public that Council operatives are inspecting the area. Over a three weekend period, prior to Christmas, 378 bags were removed and searched. 8 separate fines were issued to individuals as a result of evidence in bags illegally dumped.
