Residents urged to report dumpers as clean-up begins

A COMMUNITY hit by severe illegal dumping was encouraged last night to report those responsible to the authorities.

Contractors working for Cork City Council moved into the Killala Gardens estate on the city’s Northside yesterday to begin a massive 20,000 clean-up operation.

They will have to knock a high wall at the end of a cul-de-sac behind which hundreds of bags of rubbish, trolleys, kitchen appliances and old trolleys have been dumped in recent months.
