Prosecution possible after illegal dumping discovered on Kilkenny roads
Have you seen incidents of dumping in your part of County Kilkenny?
The indiscriminate dumping on the R697 Road out of Kilmoganny for Carrick-on-Suir has been removed for investigation.
If sufficient evidence is found, a prosecution with possible fines will be initiated. It has been joined by a full black bag that was found in the ferns on Skough Hill over the weekend.
Illegal dumping and fly-tipping continue to have a serious impact on Kilkenny’s environment, communities and local economy.
Earlier this year, The Environment Department of Kilkenny County Council started its anti-dumping and anti-fly-tipping campaign, by calling on all citizens to recognise both their legal obligations and personal responsibility when it comes to proper disposal of waste.
Illegal dumping and fly-tipping continue to have a serious impact on Kilkenny’s environment, communities and local economy. This campaign aims to highlight that waste disposal is not just a service issue, but a shared civic duty.
