A Westmeath councillor is making the call.
Westmeath County Council is getting regular complaints of rubbish being stock-piled outside homes.
Fianna Fail's Frankie Keena believes it's a form of anti-social behavior.
He's asking the local authority to take action against those living in social housing who are breaching their tenancy agreement by not disposing of litter in a proper manner.
Councillor Keena says it affects neighbours as the rubbish attracts rats and mice:
