Waste compactors
Since January 1st plastic refuse sacks, frequently torn apart resulting in litter strewn streets, have been prohibited from use in the area around Grafton Street and Temple Bar.
Some companies have also provided a direct collection service, where customers can arrange a time to meet bin lorries and hand over their sacks so they don’t sit on the street.Dublin City Council The council’s head of waste management, Barry Woods, said the compactors, supplied by an Austrian company, can each take up to 600 large waste sacks.
The compactors will be procured and serviced by the waste companies and will be emptied once a night between 4am-6am Mr Woods said. The compactors are longer than a standard car parking space and also require space at one end so they can be removed for emptying by waste companies.
