A text alert system could be set up to catch illegal dumpers could be introduced as it's set to be brought before Dublin City Council next month.
Independent Cllr Christy Burke is set to push the idea as €3 million has been allocated towards fighting the growing problem across Ireland.
Dublin council urges local authorities to re-enter domestic waste collection market
The alert system would enable to public to report dumping as it happens with the hope that they will be caught while in the act.
Now the inner city rep will bring the issue to Dublin City Council's CEO at the next meeting in the hope a pilot scheme will be introduced as soon as possible.
Speaking to Dublin Live, he said the system would see workers respond to anonymous texts in hope they will catch selfish fly tippers in the act.
He described dumping "hotspots" in the city saying many are seeing piles of rubbish re-appear just hours after the council has cleared them.
He said: "I've been out since Thursday week, and there's hotspots I came across. Some of them are disgusting.
"I got one cleared out yesterday. In fairness to DCC they cleared it out with two trucks.
"I was back at the same spot last night and low and behold there's a mattress and the base of a bed straight out in the middle of the road.

"Cars couldn't get up and kids were playing around it.
"It was the same on Sunday evening at a different spot on my way back from Croke Park. There was a woman emptying her old bathroom across the road on top of a complex gate.
"She had a new bathroom and we had to shift all that stuff yesterday."
The councillor said he started to explore the alert system after seeing how one local residents group used it to combat suspicious people in their area.
He said: "I know of a local residents group that have something similar as there were instances of a white van going around and targeting vulnerable people, being pushy with them.
"So they set up a text alert community. And it works wonders. Any time I go up I hear beep beep and people look at it, see there's something suspicious, then stand at their doors just to let them know they're watching."
He went to say the alerts would be connected up to the civic offices, and although he doesn't think it will solve the problem, any "hurdle" will help deter it.

"It'll hopefully be implemented on a pilot basis. Because there is appalling and disgusting dumping being done by people who do not have pride in their local community.
"The alert could be connected up to civic offices, and they could have an immediate reaction.
"Look, it's like the cops, they might get down in time or they might not. But it's another chapter on the radar of illegal dumping that just might make some difference.
"We've already lots of cameras in particular areas, I've also officials doing door-to-door on place that's causing havoc, they look for receipts and proof [they've disposed of their waste legally].
"But that method's taking resources away from other areas of the city council."
The next council meeting will take place on May 6.
