More people came out last Tuesday in Ocean View, Ringsend, to get rid of their rubbish.

The Council met with members of the Bin Tax Campaign, after 60 letters requesting the council remove the unwanted brown bins were handed in at the local area office, before Christmas. A Council representative said they would not return to the weekly waste collection, which is now only being collected fortnightly. A further phone call revealed that the Council intends to withdraw its weekly collection service right throughout the city and replace it with a fortnightly one.

All happening without community consultation.

More people have been coming out of their homes as the waste had been piling up.
