Sligo County Council's Environment Section falls under the Directorate of Community & Enterprise, Arts & Environment. The section has 19 technical and administrative staff members.
This department has a vast range of functions and roles from assessing pollution potential and water quality, to driving waste management, enforcement of litter pollution legislation, ensuring the implementation of new legislation and the creation of greater environmental awareness.
Sligo County Council’s primary objectives are to enhance the quality of Sligo’s environment and protect our natural resources and amenities.
The delivery of environmental services and policies can ensure the provision of a high quality environment. However this requires a co-operative approach and the participation of the communities that Sligo County Council serves. With your co-operation Sligo County Council aims to give priority to the pressing issues of waste management, water quality and litter.
