Local authority checking your refuse disposal

757TFFIU

It's good to see that some of the local authorities are at least trying to do something about illegal dumping. Between the illegal dumping and people who don't clean up after dogs and horses near where I live in Dublin, it has been an annoyance for quite a while.

However, are householders compelled to actually provide verifiable evidence of how they dump household waste to the local authority? If not, I can see people who do engage in illegal dumping just ignoring the letters and not engaging.

I've a neighbour who doesn't have wheelie bins. She lives on her own, so wouldn't fill a green, black and brown bin that often. She brings her rubbish to her brother's house and contributes towards the cost of his bin collection. That's very difficult to prove, and if that is what the local authority were told in response to any letter, they'd have to take it at face value.

The local authority can use these bye laws to check if you are complying.

If sharing a bin you should have some documentary proof ie. a written agreement which I expect is rare.

Maybe transferring your contribution to the cost by EFT would be acceptable.
