ALTHOUGH they are currently very busy, Kerry County Council’s five civic amenity sites, including the centre in Killarney, remain open for the receipt of domestic waste from customers without an existing door-to-door, kerbside service.
The service is open to those who need to dispose of household waste during the current period of Covid-19 restrictions and the sites in Kenmare, Milltown, Dingle and Caherciveen are also in operation.
The centres are currently experiencing high volumes of visits by members of the public which usually occurs in the post-Christmas period.
People have been asked to visit the centres only if waste needs to be disposed of urgently and they are reminded of the 5km travel restriction currently in place as well as the advice to remain at home except for essential reasons.
Having regard to Level 5 restrictions and in the interests of public health and minimising the numbers of people circulating at each of the centres, Kerry County Council has put the following measures in place:
- Traffic management and a queueing system is in place at all sites and this may lead to short delays for those visiting the centres.
- Just one occupant should leave vehicles on site in the interest of reducing numbers of people circulating at the sites.
- Members of the public are asked not to bring items to sites which do not need to be disposed of urgently.
- Members of the public are asked to adhere strictly to social distancing and to wear a face covering while on site.
- Customers are asked to use credit/debit cards payments as far as possible.
