An action by a waste recycling firm against a rival company over the collection of some former Dublin City Council customers’ bins has been settled, the High Court heard yesterday.
Greyhound, which took over domestic waste collection in the city at the start of the year, had claimed that Key Waste Management Ltd had been collecting some former council customers’ bins when it had no entitlement to do so.
Greyhound said Key Waste wrote back promising it would desist but investigators employed by Greyhound later allegedly saw Key Waste collecting refuse from Greyhound bins in a number of areas, including Leinster Road and Grosvenor Square in Rathmines.
Key Waste previously gave undertakings in relation to the disputed bin collection activities pending a full hearing of the matter.
Yesterday, counsel for Greyhound told Mr Justice Roderick Murphy the case had been resolved on the basis of the undertakings already given. The court was asked to record the undertakings and order the proceedings be struck out in their entirety.
