Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 June 2023
47. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if he will provide an update on his work to ensure that all households with a waste collection service are provided with an organic waste bin by their waste collection company by the end of 2023; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28667/23]
View answerMy Department is currently preparing regulations, which will require every household in the State on a waste collection service to be provided with a separate organic waste collection service. This is in line with commitments given in the Waste Action Plan for a Circular Economy and will also satisfy the requirements of the Waste Framework Directive for Member States to ensure that, by 31 December 2023, bio-waste (organic waste) is either separated and recycled at source, or is collected separately and is not mixed with other types of waste.
