Public must explain waste disposal methods
Legislation designed to crack down on the problem of illegal waste will, from next year, give local authorities the power to ask householders to reveal to them how and where they are dumping their rubbish.
The measure, expected to come into force on July 1, 2016, is likely to be welcomed by the 1.2m existing customers of kerbside waste collectors, most of whom pay annual charges in excess of €200.
