80 tonnes of illegally dumped rubbish has been recovered from Finglas with people warned not to fall for bogus collectors.
The waste removal operation was organised by Fingal County Council with help from An Garda Siochana. The illegally dumped household and bulky waste was moved from Dunsink Lane to a permitted waste facility.
Locals are being warned to be wary of illegal waste collectors who often offer cheap services on Facebook. The waste ends up being dumped illegally by these scammers.
