Door-to-door checks across Cork to deter breaches of waste bye-laws

Householders in Cork city have been warned they face more door-to-door bin checks following confirmation that 36 cases are being investigated for alleged breaches of new waste bye-laws following a blitz across the northside.

The warning came as city officials revealed that almost 300 homes were inspected in four specific suburban areas as part of an intensive spot-check operation following the introduction earlier this year of new laws governing how and when domestic waste bins should be presented for collection.
