Dublin City Council has said 213 householders in Donnybrook and Grangegorman did not have their waste collected today as they had not paid domestic waste charges or their bins were not registered.

On the Grangegorman route, 170 bins were not collected and in Donnybrook, 43 households were affected.

Overall, the council estimates that 14,000 householders will be affected by its new policy, which it is rolling out on a route-by-route basis over the next few weeks.

Non-compliant householders face fines from €125 to €3,000.

Meanwhile, there has been a sizeable increase in calls to the council's Customer Services Centre since it announced it was not going to collect waste of householders who have not paid their charges from today.

One in four calls to the centre are now relating to waste collections.
