Rubbish charge dodgers will be prosecuted, says council

CORK County Council is set to prosecute people living in north Cork who try to dodge paying for refuse collection.

The warning was issued yesterday by senior council officials who are writing to thousands of homes in the region informing them of strict new guidelines for refuse collection.

Householders who do not put the required number of tags on a wheelie bin or who leave rubbish out without any tags will be prosecuted.
