CCTV cameras to be installed in most heavily littered area of city centre, near Mountjoy Square, from early next year in planned crackdown
More than 60,000 instances of illegal dumping have cost Dublin City Council more than €5.2 million to remove since 2019, according to new figures.
She stressed, however, that people from outside the area often illegally dump their waste in laneways and on streets. Although some residents in the surrounding areas have bins, some of the houses, dating back to the Victorian period, simply do not have the space and are exempt from requiring bins. Some tenants and homeowners use council street bins and bags instead.
Patricia, who has lived in the area for some 30 years, said the waste attracts seagulls and other animals which spread it along the streets, though she does not believe CCTV cameras are the answer. The scheme, he said, has resulted in people opening bin bags in search of recyclable bottles and cans, spreading waste in the process.
