Volunteers are reliant on a large wheelbarrow to gather waste.
There are no plans to expand street bin collection services in Staffan.
The village is reliant on community efforts to manage public waste, an arrangement that has persisted for "too long", according to Joe McBride, a member of Tidy Towns in Straffan.
Tidy Towns volunteers have taken on the responsibility of maintaining the village’s 9 public bins.
For years, a rota system was in place, with volunteers personally collecting waste on a bi-weekly basis.
Currently, a Community Employment Scheme worker based at the local community hall handles public bin collections.
However, this support is temporary, with the worker’s tenure set to end in the summer.
Volunteers are reliant on a large wheelbarrow to gather waste.
Kildare County Council told Kfm today that the service is "operating at full capacity" and that there are no resources available at this time.
Kfm recently highlighted how volunteers have had enough and called on the council to step in.
