Galway County Council is investigating several significant cases of illegal dumping across the county.<\/p>\n
The Environment Section of the local authority has been notified of cases across the Attymon, Oranmore, Ballinasloe, Tuam and Ballindereen areas.<\/p>\n
The Council says the incidents ‘bear the hallmarks of an unauthorised ‘man in a van’ type operator’.<\/p>\n
Galway County Council is warning members of the public to be wary of ‘bogus waste collectors’ advertising for what may appear to be good value disposal services.<\/p>\n
The local authority is advising people to ask all operators to see a copy of their waste collection permit as they are required to carry it with them.<\/p>\n
It’s also reminding people that it is a criminal offence to use the services of Bogus Waste Collectors to remove and dispose of waste.<\/p>\n
The County Council is appealing to people to report any suspicious vehicles carrying waste in the Attymon, Oranmore, Ballinasloe, Tuam and Ballindereen areas.<\/p>\n
