High Court tells Dublin waste disposal firm to clean up
5,000 tonnes of dumped waste. Brendan Nolan reports
A DUBLIN waste disposal company has been ordered to remove 5,000 tonnes of illegally dumped waste from a farm at its own expense.
Dublin Waste expects to spend £2.5m to clean up the land,at Donard in Co Wicklow, even though the local council reckons the job will cost €20m.The company must submit a report on the operation to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by the end of 2004.
Wicklow County Council prosecuted Swalcliffe, trading as Dublin Waste, and said bloodstained bandages. scalpels and laboratory waste, were dumped on the site. Dublin Waste claimed the flytipping was done without its knowledge by a subcontractor which was sacked when its actions were discovered. In July 2003. the High Court ordered the firm to clean up the mess.
In March 2003, the High Court ordered Dublin Waste to stop using its Dublin dockland transfer station after deciding the terms of its EPA licence were being broken The firm ran 20 trucks to drop and lift some 700 skips: the EPA said the waste station had exceeded its 50,000-tonne allowance. At the time a company spokeswoman said "unauthorised" does not mean "illegal"; but she accepted the firm went over its tonnage and was in breach of its licence conditions.
In May 2003, Dublin Waste sold its customer base for €5m to Greenstar. a company predominantly owned by National Toll Roads.
