🎃As part of Operation Tombola, our Waste Enforcement Team, Fire Service, Municipal District Offices are working alongside An Garda Síochána and the National Ambulance Service to help keep our communities safe this Halloween.
🔥 Keep Waste out of Bonfires
Burning waste is illegal and can release harmful pollutants into the air, affecting both our health and the environment. Please do not burn or collect waste for Halloween bonfires. Materials such as pallets, tyres, old furniture and other household waste should be disposed of responsibly.
🚒Halloween is one of the busiest times of the year for emergency services. Illegal bonfires pose serious fire safety hazards and can lead to injuries, damage to property and added pressure on emergency responders.
🎆 Say no to Illegal Fireworks
Illegal fireworks may not meet safety standards and can cause serious injuries, particularly to children. Please do not buy, use or supply illegal fireworks.
🎃In the lead up to Halloween, our Waste Enforcement Team and Fire Service, together with An Garda Síochána, will be monitoring and identifying stockpiles of bonfire material. We will endeavour to remove this waste where possible.
💻📱If you see waste being collected for burning, please contact our Waste Enforcement Team at [email protected] or call 065 68 46 331
