Buttevant

RUBBISH

Indiscriminate and illegal dumping of rubbish is rearing its’ ugly head in the Buttevant area. Rubbish is being dumped in many public local areas of the town with no respect for persons or property. Then the rubbish is interfered with by animals and birdlifeand then it spreads over a very large area. This is an ever increasing problem and diminishes the appearance of the town and its’ environs. We would all do well to keep our own area property and surrounds clean neat and tidy and free from all forms of litter rubbish and dumping of materials.
