New super strong "anti-seagull" bin bags are to be rolled out in Dublin city in the coming weeks.
The idea will see residents and businesses put their rubbish into the reusable sacks, as the birds' beaks and other animals won't be able to rip apart according to Independent.ie. The durable sacks are impenetrable to the beaks of the seagulls, and other wild animals like foxes won't be able to rip apart bin bags to get at food.
Private collection crews will empty the bags into trucks, before returning the tough sacks to households and businesses. The new initiative comes after the recent success of the Bagbin pilot in the capital, where collapsible containers were used over a six-month period to protect waste from ending up strewn across the street.
