A full survey of bins in Galway city is to be carried out by the City Council.
A litter management plan will be presented to city councillors at the next meeting, and as part of that, a GPS survey and audit of bins will be completed.
It will examine what areas may need more or less bins, and the council says that until then, no changes will be made.
