Men recorded on CCTV illegally dumping at Dublin restaurant

Big Brother is watching.

You might have been tempted before, but you’c never consider using someone else’s bins after this.

Business owner Gabriel Matei called Liveline on RTÉ Radio 1 on Tuesday to explain how he caught three men who were using his food company’s bins without permission.

Matei, who owns an artisan shop in Dundrum called ‘Baked’, noticed how he was being charged a lot more than he should have been for recent bin collections.

With that in mind, he installed a video camera near his shop to catch the culprits red-handed.

Do you recognise this van? Or the men clambering on Gabriel’s bins?

Gabriel hasn’t given the details to the Gardai but is considering it, and told Joe it just shows the lengths some people will go to and “how hard it is for ordinary decent business people at the moment.”
