Good to see them practicing leave no trace so
Anyone with any common sense would know that people wild go rooting through bins for bottles and cans.
What councils should have done is have bottle and can caddies installed on bins to pre-empt this behaviour. It’s not rocked science.
Dublin was a bomb site before the return
I don’t know how well it would work here but in Germany they just leave the return cans and bottles beside the bins and people take them
Poverty and desperation is so messy
Didn’t he manage Leicester for a while?
Wealth inequality has many side effects. Sort it out.
The council suddenly learns what the Cobra Effect is. Thankfully it’s not snakes this time.
Then he should be out on the streets cleaning it up the lazy bollox
Living around apartments in the city centre is a nightmare coming up to bin day – the large bins could have a person in each one rooting through for bottles and throwing out everything else. There’s still bin bags in use in Dublin 7/North Inner City and this morning someone had cut a hole in every recycling bag the whole way along my commute to check for cans and bottles and left everything else fall out.
Privatising recycling like this is a terrible idea.
I have no issue with people making a few euro on something that would otherwise go to a landfill.
O’Connell street was a “bomb-site” before the bottle turn scheme, why don’t they focus their energy in establishing the cause and responsible parties for that?
Richard Shakespeare. What a name
Rubbish in the city centre is a much larger issue than the people struggling to get a few coins out of discarded cans and bottles.
They put up racks for cans and bottles in the city centre but only on limited bins. I’m not sure why that wasn’t rolled out more broadly.
Seagulls were already leaving dublin ‘like a bomb site’ because the genius of the private market can’t be arsed to install dumpsters or underground rubbish bins common in other European capitals.

I hate this dude. Could the council not leave an tray around the bins to stop this from happening? They have some around the bins on Grafton St, but I guess the rest of the city is not important enough to have these.
People are getting keys from people within the council so they would need to look at their security governance before complaining and pointing the finger.
This clown is so out of touch with reality by referring to other human beings as scavengers. Maybe if the council started providing housing again this would be less of a problem.
Lastly, this pic really annoyed me the other day. The population of the area Dublin City Council looks after is just shy of 600k people, so that works out about 171 bins per person. I wouldn’t go around advertising that if I was them.
He must be talking about the wealthy areas of the city. Dublin has always been a kip
Re-turn scheme was a bad idea, badly implemented and really unnecessary.
This exact behaviour was sold as a positive when they pushed for this regulatory capture corruption.
