Dublin City Council is to use the tactic of withholding street cleaning services in areas where dumping waste is a problem.
They said cleaning up after residents in areas where illegal dumping is an issue is a waste of Council resources.
According to the Irish Times, waste being thrown into the street bagged and unbagged is a widespread problem, but it is worse in the North Inner City.
The City Council has identified an area from Gardiner Street to Croke Park where the problem is particularly acute.
