Mr. Liam Moloney:

We have no issue with the independent collectors operating. They are out there doing their own thing. Some of them were previously IFFPG contractors. However, they are responsible for any waste that they collect. It would be counterproductive for us to support independent collectors because in effect they are competing with our collectors. The levy and the collection charges that we collect are there to fund IFFPG exclusively. Unfortunately, although we sympathise with the position in which independent collectors find themselves now, it is not for us to assist them.
