Waste Presentation Solutions - INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR THE ON STREET STORAGE AND PRESENTATION OF HOUSEHOLD AND COMMERCIAL WASTE

Descriptions

Dublin City Council is seeking information from service providers for the provision of innovative solutions in order to better manage the on-street storage and presentation of household and commercial waste in Dublin City.In the functional area of Dublin City Council there are in excess of 1000 streets designated where plastic bags may be used to store and present waste for kerbside collection. In excess of 300 of these streets lie within the central commercial district.The use of plastic bags for the storage and presentation of waste causes significant issues in respect of the creation of litter through the failure of such bags through mishandling or interference from vermin and animals. The appearance of waste bags presented for collection also detracts from the streetscape and visual amenity of the city generally. The opportunity to seek alternatives that provide for a more secure and reliable form of waste container, where the use of wheeled bins is not possible due to the physical characteristics of the city or property, will lead to improvements in the management of waste within Dublin City.
