Dublin city businesses to be banned from leaving bin bags on the street this month in bid to tackle rubbish crisis

The move taken by Dublin City Council will see close to 1,500 businesses in the south city centre first affected by the ban in two weeks' time. The remainder of the city centre's businesses will be subject to the ban from January next year.

What we've done is engage with bin operators to change how premises present their waste. Businesses will no longer be allowed to present their waste in plastic bin bags for seagulls to rip up and let rubbish be strewn across the road.

We're working together to make Dublin a cleaner city and a better city to live in. This is going to be one of the biggest changes to how we have managed litter in our city.

The scheme will then be extended to much of the city early next year. We're aiming for full compliance from owners/occupiers of retail, commercial and residential buildings by January 1, 2025.
