Waste Management and Recycling - Fingal County Council

Waste Management and Recycling in Fingal

Fingal County Council has a role in enforcing a number of Waste Management Regulations. The regulations gave enforcement duties to Local Authorities and Fingal County Council has a Waste Enforcement Section dealing with these.

We have adopted Bye-Laws to control the storage and presentation of household waste in the Fingal area. These can be viewed on our Bye-Laws page.

We are also planning for the future, along with the other 3 Dublin Local Authorities. Our Waste Management Planning page gives you details on planned waste infrastructure in Fingal and on the Waste Management Plan for the Dublin Region.

We operate an active landfill site in Balleally, Lusk and are working on the restoration and aftercare of Dunsink Landfill. Our Landfills page gives details on these.
