MAYNOOTH, 28 June 2001: by Bill Trapman. At a recent Fine Gael meeting in Maynooth, Cllr Senan Griffin urged people who avail of the various bottle, clothes and can banks to refrain from depositing their plastic bags and other cardboard boxes in the vicinity of the recycling units.
Recently Maynooth Fire Brigade was called to put out a fire at the public car park, where someone had set fire to the rubbish left behind. Cllr Griffin said 'it does not make sense' to bring bottles, cans etc to the recycle units and leave rubbish scattered around the units. "It is very wrong and should be discontinued," he said.
Cllr Griffin appealed to people to stop and think about this issue and he told the meeting that there is no such place as 'throwing it away'. Actions such as these, affect everyone in the community, the evidence can be seen in any ditch within a mile radius of Maynooth.
We can all play an active part in eliminating this headache from our town, he concluded.
