IF YOU SEE stockpiles of wood, pallets or tyres in the next few weeks, you’re being asked to report it to Dublin City Council.
The council is promoting a safe Halloween this year and told the public that all bonfires are illegal, asking them to report any stockpiled material.
The public can do this through:
The council say that they will carry out “dozens of stockpiling raids” between now and Halloween.
They are running family-friendly Halloween events around the city, licensed fireworks displays and Dublin Fire Brigades safety awareness campaign.
Hugh Coughlan of Dublin City Council’s Waste Management Services says that the move will lessen the disruption caused
Offering a safe environment for people to celebrate Halloween and stopping illegal bonfires has played a big part in reducing the damage Halloween has traditionally caused. However we need the public’s support in this and that’s why we are asking people to report stockpiled material to us. Remember, all bonfires are illegal and, as well as being a safety risk, cause considerable damage to the environment.
Dublin City Council removed about 1,000 tyres and 800 tonnes of bonfire material last year.
