Wheelie Bins

There have been a number of incidents where wheelie bins have been maliciously set on fire and have subsequently damaged the gas meter installations. Gas Networks Ireland offers the following advice for public and private premises:

  • Where possible, do not store waste materials or wheelie bins on or adjacent to the gas meter insulation as this increases the potential fire risk if the waste material were to be ignited.

Please consider:

  • Storing waste or bins at a place away from the gas meter installation.
  • Keeping waste and/or bins in a secure area.
  • Restricting movement of wheelie bins so that they cannot be placed adjacent to the gas installation.
