Breaching new waste laws could see householders hit with fines

- Ensuring all citizens dispose of their waste by using an authorised waste contractor, by taking it to an authorised waste facility or by sharing bins by agreement.
- Maximising the use of wheelie bins and limiting the areas where bags can be presented. Only households designated by Cork City Council as entitled to use bag collection will be allowed this service.
- Defining how wheelie bins are to be presented for collection.
- Ensuring that documentation/receipts are kept to demonstrate proper disposal of waste if wheelie bins or bags are not used.
- Ensuring segregation of waste at source.
- Restricting the storage of wheelie bins on public roads or footpaths unless the householder or business in question is in receipt of written authorisation to do otherwise.
- Setting down times when wheelie bins can be presented on street for collection and setting down times for when collected bins must be removed from public road/footpath.
