Halloween is just around the corner, a time for trick or treating and scary costumes. Many people aren’t aware that it is illegal to burn waste of any kind. Many materials burned contain chemicals which produce toxic fumes when burned. These toxins can last for a long time in our environment.
Waterford City and County Council’s Environment Enforcement Team have been following up on reports of waste being stored in gardens, derelict houses and on public spaces in order to avoid waste accumulating in the weeks coming up to Halloween. Waterford City and County Council will be removing any waste for bonfires that is accumulating on green areas or other public spaces. This will continue into Halloween night. If you are concerned about waste being stored in a nearby area, please report it to our Enforcement Team at 0761 10 2020. This is especially important in this week leading up to Halloween, as the waste that is accumulating in your area could be used to build a bonfire.
Please follow the following tips for a safe Halloween:
Please remember that bonfires are dangerous, they cause injury to children each year and cause damage to your environment. Think before you light a bonfire; remember – do not burn tyres, waste or any other dangerous materials.
The Draft Register of Electors is on display at the City

Waterford City & County Council are planning to make changes to the traffic lights at Summerland Square in Waterford city.
This junction has 5 roads leading into it and has 6 phases in the traffic lights.
The changes we are making will ban traffic from Upper Yellow Road from turning right to Morrisons Road, ban traffic from lower yellow road from turning right to Military Road or Ozanam St, and all traffic exiting Ozanam St will have to turn left onto Military Road.
From traffic movements which are being eliminated represent a small minority of traffic movements at the junction, and eliminating these movements allows phases to run together reducing the current number of phases from 6 to 4, which will reduce the delays at the junction to the majority of the users of the junction.
More details can be seen in the attached document :
The changes come into effect from November 1st, and advance warning signs will be going up today (26th October).
Waterford City and County Council are currently undertaking a traffic survey at various locations in Waterford city.
The equipment for this consists of a CCTV camera attached to a pole, with a battery pack in a black case at the base of the pole.
We would like to reassure the people who reported these to the Gardaí, they are not roadside bombs 🙂
