Louth councillor welcomes clean up of dumping ground in Omeath
Four lorry loads of waste removed
In a statement released today, Cllr McGreehan commended Louth County Council and Coillte for the clean up at a forest in Cornamucklagh, a few hundred metres from the Border.
"Four lorry loads of domestic waste, domestic appliances, tyres etc were all cleared and brought away’.
Louth County Council this year received €145,000 funding for projects under the Anti-Dumping Initiative. This funding went towards clean up and surveillance at Cornamucklagh.
Cllr McGreehan believes "it is important that if people see individuals dumping, they should report it to the litter wardens in Louth County Council.
"This country spends millions upon millions of euro each year to remove illegal dumping. These monies could be allocated somewhere else like social housing, sports and community grants."
The litter warden can be contacted through Louth County Council on 1890 202303 or 042-9335457.
