Illegal Dumping - See Something - Say Something

The majority of areas affected by illegal dumping/fly-tipping are located in some of the most spectacular and scenic areas of our countryside.

Here are some of OUR COUNTY’S Illegal Dumping Hotspots…..Do you recognise them??

To report the witnessing of littering/illegal dumping, please phone Laois County Councils Confidential Litter Hotline 1800 -32-32-20 or report this online.

Illegal dumping is a cause for serious concern in County Laois. Dumping is illegal, unsightly and unnecessary and offenders will be prosecuted by Laois County Council.

Householders are responsible for their domestic refuse – beware of BOGUS COLLECTORS! All Waste Collectors must be authorized to collect waste and hold a valid WASTE COLLECTION PERMIT. If in doubt, please contact The Environment Section, Laois County Council on 057 8674319. Remember if your waste is found dumped illegally, you will face prosecution.
