Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government how it is that the polluter-pays principle, under which fees to collect household waste are to be charged under the Waste Management (Collection Permit) Amendment Regulations 2016, is upheld by the practice of waste companies charging flat per-week service charges to consumers under the pay-by-weight scheme, a charge which must be paid regardless of whether a consumer has presented any waste for collection; if he will amend the regulations in order that service charges that can be charged by waste companies are capped; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
