Sligo Councillor condemns the dumping of large quantity of rubbish in Hazelwood

A serious incident of fly-tipping saw nearly 35 bags of rubbish dumped along roadsides in Hazelwood over the weekend, close to the entrance to Half Moon Bay.  The waste, which included household rubbish, ash and garden waste, was reported by local residents and cleared quickly by council staff and litter wardens.  Council officials are now reviewing CCTV footage as fly-tipping is illegal, environmentally damaging and places an unnecessary cost on taxpayers.  Cllr Marie Casserly says the dumping is completely unacceptable, particularly in such a beautiful area, and she's urging anyone with information to contact the council or gardaí. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
