Bin-charge protestors defiant of deadline

ANTI-bin charge protestors plan to dump household rubbish into passing bin trucks if council workers in Cork city refuse to collect their waste from today.

Householders Against Services Charges (HASC) last night said they were considering a number of options to deal with the new non-collection policy including the blockading of bin trucks.

“We have kept a close eye on the manner in which the Dublin anti-bin charge protests were conducted, and we may adopt the same tactics,” said HASC spokesman Paddy Mulcahy.
