According to information supplied to my Department by local authorities in July this year, private operators provide the waste collection service in 17 local authority areas, a combination of private operators and local authorities provide the service in 15 local authority areas and local authorities provide the service in 2 areas. A waiver scheme is in place in 3 of the 17 privately operated areas, in each of the 15 areas where a combined service operates and in both areas where the local authority provides the service.
