KILDARE GENERAL, 16 September 2002: Kildare County Council has been asked to adopt a policy of emptying litter bins provided under its Litter Bins Grants Scheme.
Through this scheme the Council assists residents’ associations, community groups, Tidy Towns Committees and similar organisations by giving a grant of up to 75% to a maximum of E750 towards the cost of bins.
“Unfortunately, the Council have a policy of not emptying the litter bins provided under this scheme, which means that there is very little take up, especially by residents’ associations,” says Cllr John McGinley, who has tabled a motion for a change in this policy. “If my motion is agreed residents’ associations should find it easier to avail of the scheme”
