Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council considers that, for the purposes of the proper management of waste within its functional area, and for the prevention and control of environmental pollution, it is necessary to regulate and control the storage, presentation and collection of household and commercial waste.
Bye-Laws have been made for these purposes. Anyone identified as committing an offence under these bye-laws will be issued with an on-the-spot litter fine of €75. If the fine is not paid, the Council will take legal action through the District Court, where the maximum fine which can be imposed is €1,904.
Appealing a Litter Fine:
If you feel that your fine was unfair or mistaken, you can lodge an appeal on the attached appeal form. Appeals should be lodged within 21 days of the date of the fine, and may be submitted by email to info@dlrcoco.ie or by post to the Litter Management Section, County Hall, Marine Road, Dún Laoghaire. A decision will be notified to you within 21 days of receipt of the appeal.
