Yet another incident of public dumping in Donegal has been raised with locals near the Ballinalecky crossroads voicing their disgust.

Locals found several bags of household waste and a couple of dozen beer cans discarded at the roadside over the weekend.

“I can’t believe that people are just coming around and throwing off their rubbish like this – they have no respect at all,” one nearby householder told Donegal Daily.

“The worst thing here is that these items could have been dumped for free in a proper way. These beer cans and a lot of other items that have been chucked off here could have been recycled.

“It’s dirty and disgusting just to drive along and throw off rubbish like this.

“To just do this on one of the busiest roads in the county makes it even worse.”

The Ballinalecky crossroads si where the N15 (Letterkenny-Lifford) road meets with the junctions of the R236 between Raphoe and St Johnston.
