The annual Anti-Dumping Initiative (ADI) was introduced in 2017 to encourage a collaborative approach between local authorities, communities and other State Agencies to tackling the problem of illegal dumping. Details of funding, broken down by local authority and individual project, for each of the years 2017 - 2020 are available at the link below.

A further €3m has been allocated to the 2021 ADI. Payments to each local authority under the ADI for 2021 are currently being finalised by the Department, in conjunction with the Waste Enforcement Regional Lead Authorities, and details will be made available on the website when the process is complete.
