New measures are being introduced to tackle illegal dumping in Kilkenny.
The council has approved new waste management bye-laws that give them the power to ask people for proof that they’re disposing of it correctly.

At the moment 63% of householders in Kilkenny use authorised waste collectors.
But Director of Services Seán McKeown has told KCLR News it’s the other 27% they are interested in.
However the issue of private waste collectors refusing to service some rural roads was raised in a meeting of the county council yesterday.
Councillor David Kennedy says he’s happy to hear a meeting will take place between collectors and the council because it is a real problem.
