Illegal dumping: Landlords ‘incentivising’ the practice in inner-city Dublin

today, Janet Horner said this is occurring mostly in “overcrowded accommodations” and called for landlords to step up and “ensure a waste contract is in place”.“I think it’s even more enormous when it’s not just in the city itself, it’s just the central area – the north inner city specifically,” she said.

“But one thing we are proposing and putting forward at the minute is making it a landlord’s responsibility to ensure a waste contract is in place,” she said.“The problem is we have this 1% that is resulting in the community as a whole being unhygienic, smelly, unpleasant, and making it very difficult for the rest of the community to live in a dignified way,” she said.“This isn’t about clamping down on people doing the right thing and making their life more difficult.

“There is this 1% who we know are running multi-unit properties and renting them out to 20-30 people,” she said.Cllr Horner said municipal bins are another possible solution - but are years off from being in place.“But when you have EU competition law making it difficult to re-municipalise, we need to be looking at an interim solution.
