Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 138 to 140, inclusive, together.
Under the Waste Management Act, local authorities are responsible for waste management planning, including planning for the collection and treatment of waste in their functional areas. Most domestic waste collection is carried out by private waste collection companies operating under waste collection permits. My Department does not hold information on the amounts individual local authorities spend on waste management on an annual basis.
