Council to clamp down on refuse charge dodgers

HOUSEHOLDERS in Waterford who don’t pay up or who dump their refuse in neighbours’ bins are being warned that they will be caught, have their service withdrawn and be fined.

Waterford County Council is drawing up a database of households using its refuse collection services in a major clampdown on those who fail to pay.

It says it will refuse to collect the rubbish of those failing to register.
