🚫 Illegal dumping has no place in Offaly's countryside.

The recent dumping of construction and demolition waste in the Ferbane/Lumcloon area is more than just an eyesore. It damages the natural beauty of our boglands, harms the environment, and undermines the landscapes that make Offaly so special.

♻️ If you are hiring a waste collector, it is your responsibility to ensure they hold a valid waste collection permit. Failing to do so could result in your waste being dumped illegally and may leave you liable for enforcement action.

✅ Always check credentials before handing over your waste. A simple check can help protect our countryside, preserve our natural heritage, and prevent illegal dumping.

Let's work together to keep Offaly beautiful for everyone.
