Cabra still beatin' the Bin Tax

category dublin | bin tax / household tax / water tax | news report author Tuesday February 14, 2006 23:37author by Binman Report this post to the editors

Cabra residents are determined that Dublin City Council won't beat them on the Bin Tax after battling for over 5 years. The Cabra/Dunard/Navan Road Campaign against the Bin Tax have organised residents on any roads affected by non-collection to dump their own waste into the bin trucks. People are sick of the ever increasing stealth taxes being imposed on them and have chosen the double tax of the bin charges as an issue to take a stand.
Learning the trade...........
Learning the trade...........

The council have instructed the binmen to stop collecting the bins of people on four roads in Cabra who have refused to pay this double tax. The Cabra/Dunard/Navan Road Campaign against the Bin Tax organised local residents on each of the roads to dump their own rubbish into the bin trucks. The council still haven't had the confidence to stop collecting on all the roads in Cabra.

Over 30 residents met at 8am on Monday morning to show the council that they wouldn't be bullied into paying this tax. All four roads were cleared with no problems. The residents made sure they didn't interfere with the men working on the truck. All agreed that they would be back again next week and for as long as it takes to beat this unfair tax.

In 2003 the unelected City Manager Fitzgerald boasted that he would have everybody paying by the end of the year. Nearly 3 years later the battle is only heating up.
