Boscaí Bruscar – Litter Bins
A number of the roadside litter bins situated at various
locations around the island have been removed.
The bins were removed as there is no arrangement in place for the
servicing of them. Comharchumann Árainn
Mhór has not been responsible for the servicing of the bins and all servicing
of bins to date by an comharchumann was undertaken on a voluntary basis. Many of the bins in question were regularly filled
with household waste such as dogfood tins and children’s nappies.
Following consultations between an Comharchumann, Donegal Co Co and the waste removal operator,
it has been agreed that a number of the bins will remain in place and they will
be serviced on a regular fortnightly basis.
It should be noted that the bins are not for the use of householders
for the disposal of household waste.
Householders are responsible for the responsible disposal of their own
household waste. The roadside bins are
for general roadside litter only.
An island map illustrating the litter bins which will be regularly
serviced will follow in due course.
