My Department has provided funding for civic amenity sites since 2002 under two schemes, the Capital Grants Scheme under the National Development Plan 2000 to 2006 and the Waste Recycling Capital Grants Scheme under the National Development Plan 2007 to 2013. Dublin City Council was notified about these schemes by numerous Circulars, most recently circular WPR 15/08.

A circular issued to all local authorities in August 2012 (WP 11/12), detailing the closure of the Waste Recycling Capital Grants Scheme under the National Development Plan 2007-2013 to new applications with effect from 14September 2012. No application was forthcoming from Dublin City Council prior to the closure date. However, I note that there is a bring bank in the Darndale Village Centre, as well as three others in the Dublin 17 area.
