Disposal in bin lorry ‘a breach of procedure’

DUBLIN City Council said the disposal of fridges or freezers into a bin lorry was “a breach of procedure” and would be dealt with appropriately.

“Fridges and freezers should be collected in the flat-bed lorry provided and any departure from that is a breach of procedure,” said Niall O’Keeffe of the council’s Waste Management Services department.

Mr O’Keeffe first said all bulky household waste was collected by a flat-bed lorry and was brought to a transfer station for separation.
