Non Collection in Finglas![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() DCC non collection met with strong resistance Thursday 25th August 7.30am - following the decision the previous week by the Council not to collect bins that hadn't been registered and after the circulation of a letter from Finglas Anti Bin Tax Campaign mobilising people to resist and bin their rubbish, 30+ local residents in the Ballygall area organised themselves along with campaign activists to bin their rubbish and send a message to the council that the campaign isn't going away. Contrary to DCC propaganda on compliance to bin charges, nearly half the bins in Ballygall were not collected and, according to the council workers, they were only rejecting bins that were not registered. They were collecting bins that were registered irrespective of whether they had paid the bin tax or not. This was in Ballygall, Finglas East, an area with higher than the national average, unemployment, lone parent households and elderly all of whom would be entitled to a waiver on the tax. During the bin collection a resident, obviously so fustrated with the Council, decided they could have their bin back and tossed it into the bin truck! |
