Tipperary County Council’s efforts to clamp down on illegal dumping will step up a gear next year.

New legislation will come into force which will allow local authority inspectors to go to peoples home and investigate how they are disposing of household waste.

Director of Services Sean Keating says a lot of the dumping is being carried out by people who don’t avail of refuse collection services.

The new legislation will enable the County Council to track these people down.
