Dublin City Council's intentions in relation to its household waste collection services are a matter for the City Council itself. As regards policy concerning household waste collection generally, the Programme for Government includes a commitment to introduce competitive tendering for household waste collection, whereby service providers will bid to provide waste collection services in a given area, for a given period of time and to a guaranteed level of service. A public consultation designed to inform the policy development process concluded in September. The responses received are currently being examined and I intend to bring policy proposals to Government before the end of the year.
