A spokesperson for Dublin City Council said: "Dublin City Council would like to advise the public that following a request from An Garda Síochána due to the visit of US President Biden, it has covered and sealed bins in the city centre and along the President’s designated travel route."
The bins are likely to remain sealed and covered until Friday, they added.
The public are being urged to dispose of their waste at the next available bin located outside these designated security areas.
A spokesperson for Dublin City Council added: "This is in order to prevent a proliferation of litter on our city's streets and pavements around these security locations at this important time."
Dublin City Council thanked the public for its cooperation at this time during President Biden's visit, which will see him visit Irish President Michael D Higgins in Phoenix Park on Thursday.
