Ballinasloe residents are being warned over bogus waste collectors operating around the town.
Councillors have raised the issue at a meeting of the Ballinasloe area this week.
The illegitimate services are offering to dispose of household waste - but then go on to dump it in rural and bog areas.
Fine Gael Councillor Alan Harney is encouraging people to ask for identification and confirm their waste collectors are registered.
