We support improved waste management and a cleaner city. We are keen that solutions to the waste collection issue are assessed with the following taken into account:
feasibility
accessibility
safety
heritage
environmental
social-impact
In the area covered by Phase 3 of the Waste Management proposal to ban the use of bin bags we dense, historic, terraced neighbourhoods that Dublin City Council has itself identified, in the current Development Plan, as a Priority Architectural Conservation Area project. A bin-based system that has not been assessed against any of these factors must not be imposed.
We welcome everyone interested in improving the waste management challenges facing your community.
Our Logo
The inspiration for our logo comes from the Yew Tree. Yew trees are special because they are among the oldest living organisms in Europe, possess a unique ability to regenerate themselves, and are deeply tied to ancient folklore and modern medicine. You can find out more about these wonderful native trees on the Tree Council website.
In our logo, Christine illustrates the strong and long history of the area with our roots going back to the Viking Era and moving onwards and upwards through Dublin 7, along Stoneybatter (the original route from Dublin Settlement and Castle to Tara), and branching out to all the areas linked to it.
Many of the linked areas have grown into independent, strong communities who are the seeds for new Yews throughout the city.
“Having a committed group of residents who care for each other is so important.”
— Paddy C.
