St V. De Paul pass on CCTV to wardens
DUNDALK St. Vincent De Paul have passed CCTV images to the Louth County Council litter wardens, after a number of items were left outside their Castletown Road store after it had been shut for the day.
A baby seat, pram and home exercise equipment were among the donations left at the door of the shop on 11pm on Wednesday evening last.
The opening of charity stores after the Covid-19 lockdown has been widely welcomed, with many homes undergoing a delayed spring clear out of clothes, household furniture and other equipment.
As a result charity shops are now dealing with a deluge of donations.
But, taking to their Facebook page, St.Vincent De Paul have warned that they cannot allow items to be dumped outside any of their shops, once they have been closed.
‘We would kindly ask people not to leave donations outside the shop, we accept donations from 10.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday. These items were left outside the shop at 11.00 p.m Wednesday night the CCTV images will be passed on to the Litter Warden.’
