The fines detailed below reflect the amount of effort needed to put the situation right.
BE CONSIDERATE
It’s your bin store. It’s also your neighbours’ bin store. So be considerate. Please keep it clean, clear of rubbish and safe to use. It might seem like a small thing at the time, but bags left on the ground are often ripped open by birds or cats. This creates a mess.
Dumping outside the bin store creates litter and attracts vermin.
Fine: up to €500
One bag left on the ground can quickly snowball into a pile of bags.
Leaving bags on the ground can stop others using the bin store properly.
Fine: up to €120
