Residents of a Clondalkin estate were left "distraught" after the latest round of "disgusting" illegal dumping in the area.
The Lealand Estate in the Bawnogue area of Clondalkin has been repeatedly targeted by fly tippers, ruining the hard work locals have been putting in during area clean-ups. Photos shared with Dublin Live show pieces of furniture, bedding, planks of wood, and other wastes left in a large pile at the front of the housing estate from the weekend.
Sinn Fein Cllr William Carey told Dublin Live that Lealand Estate has recently seen a surge in illegal dumping. He explained that the estate has an arrangement with South Dublin Council to collect bags containing shrubbery and green waste, but that now some people are placing their rubbish alongside it.
