Appeal over dumping at local clothes banks and charity shops
Dumping at a clothes bank.
Roscommon Tidy Towns has issued a strong appeal following concerns over illegal dumping at clothing donation bins and charity shops in recent weeks.
The committee says it is “very disheartening” to see items such as clothes, toys, car seats and other household goods being left outside these facilities in Roscommon Town, particularly when bins are full or shops are closed.
Roscommon Tidy Towns reminded the public that leaving items beside donation points is considered illegal dumping, which can lead to an on-the-spot fine of €150.
If bins are full or shops are not open, residents are asked to take their items home and return at a later time when the facilities are available.
