Monaghan County Council proposes to replace its existing Litter Management Plan.
A new draft plan has been prepared for the prevention and control of litter in the county area setting out appropriate objectives and targets for the three year period 2026-2029.
Why We Are Consulting
The Litter Pollution Act, 1997 requires all local authorities to take practicable measures for the prevention of the creation of litter in its functional area. Local authorities have a responsibility for the collection and disposal of litter, promotion of awareness of the polluting effects of litter and encouraging participation by persons in preventing and overcoming the effects of litter.
What Happens Next
A summary of the proposed Draft Litter Management Plan for the period 2026–2029 is available free of charge from Monaghan County Council and may be obtained from the Environment Section, Carrickmacross Civic Offices, Riverside Road, Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan A81 HY83, or by phoning 042 9661240. The Draft Litter Management Plan can also be downloaded from the Monaghan County Council webpage below:
