Extra CCTV cameras to be installed at fly-tipping blackspots

Extra covert cameras are to be erected at fly-tipping blackspots throughout Co Cork in a county council bid to eliminate illegal dumping.

In addition, the local authority’s waste enforcement section is preparing to send personnel out to households, to seek proof as to what waste disposal provider they use.

The two initiatives are being undertaken to deal with the current high levels of illegal dumping and the possibility that problems will exacerbate if pay-by-weight charges increase.
