Schools Exempt from Bin Charges

Following a motion put to Dublin City Council by Sinn Féin, schools designated as disadvantaged by the Department of Education, will be exempted from any current or future waste collection.

It is my understanding that this was passed at the last City Council meeting. While I'm not sure why they didn't push for all schools, or for community groups and the like as well, it's still a cause for congrats. Considering the amount of waste created by schools, this could save them a few bob, which considering the increasing cost of insurance for one thing is well worth it.

Nice to win one every now and again on the Bin Tax, even if it isn't a major victory.
