Litter Pollution Act 1997 (as amended)
Please note that it is an OFFENCE to leave any waste materials including bags of household waste, bottles, plastics, cardboard boxes etc. in the vicinity of bring bank receptacles. Leaving bags and boxes at the bring bank is not recycling; it is littering. Only the described items should be deposited in the purpose-made containers at recycling locations.
CCTV surveillance is in operation at bring banks and Recycling Centres throughout County Offaly. Any littering offence may result in a €150 on-the-spot fine or a prosecution.
If Bring Banks are full, it is illegal to leave your bottles beside the bank – go to another site or return later when the banks have been emptied. In the event that bring banks are full, please notify Environment Section on 057 93 57403.
