Housewarming bin gift for Clondalkin councillor
By Maurice Garvey
Clondalkin Councillor Trevor Gilligan discovered a gift upon moving into his new home this week – a fly-tipping addition to his bin collection.
Cllr Gilligan said: “Myself, my fiancé and one-year-old daughter moved into our new home on Boot Road, Clondalkin recently. Having arranged our new bin collection service, we put out our green and brown bins for collection.
"The next day, I was shocked to find someone had put a bag, that would take nearly a full bin again, on top of an already full green bin.”
The culprit put a general waste into the green bin, and Gilligan urges residents to be aware.
“The bin charges have helped bring this issue on, however, that doesn’t excuse people from illegally dumping their rubbish in someone else’s bin.
“Our waste collection system must be radically over hauled. One only has to look at the number of litter black spots around Dublin.”
