Dublin hotel returns rubbish to woman who 'illegally used their bins'

A popular Dublin hotel has hit back at an "illegal" dumper after she was caught on their CCTV throwing rubbish into their bins.

The White Moose Cafe, situated in Phibsborough, shared a video on social media describing the situation with owner Paul Stenson.

A black car pulled into the car park and a woman emerged. She took out a large black bag and then dumped the bag "illegally" into their rubbish bins.

The owner, who was not too impressed, decided to give the woman 1 hour to come back and collect her "belongings", if not, they would release CCTV footage of the dumping.

After the hour passed there was no sign of the woman so the CCTV footage was released which gained hundreds of views within minutes.

Peter and a member of staff decided to search through the rubbish bag in order to identify the woman. Almost immediately  they found a discarded letter and believed it was the woman's name and address.

On their Facebook page The White Moose Café said: "The girl who dumped her rubbish in our bin should probably not include letters identifying her in the bags she's going to illegally dump."

They travelled to the alleged address and returned the rubbish, placing it on top of the woman's car and drove off.

The Café has been involved in controversy before having released a "satirical" post on their Facebook page where they suggested putting a 'tax' on screaming children.

Perhaps their most famous encounter was when a social media influencer wanted to stay in a hotel for free in exchange for 'exposure.'
