In County Galway there are five contractors for waste collection. One of the advantages of private sector involvement in waste management there is that the biggest landfill in the county in Ballinasloe has reduced 40% of its waste. However, this site will close in 2005 so we must work hard to get a new landfill for the county. I agree with the Minister of State about paying for the collection of waste. I understand the charge in Dublin is €150 per year, which is reasonable. However, there are other parts of the country where it is twice or even three times that figure. We must bring in a better system for rural areas. The subsidy I referred to could be a possible remedy.
