A local councillor took the matter into his own hands.
A man who dumped a fridge in an Athlone housing estate has found it returned to his front garden.
Residents reported the homeowner to the local council, but he refused to answer his door to the litter warden.
Local Fianna Fáil councillor Aengus O'Rourke became frustrated when he visited the scene - so he returned the next day with a friend:
Thursday this fridge freezer was dumped on an open green in a housing estate in Athlone. I knew who did it so I dropped a note in his door, gave him 24 hours to remove it. 24 hours later it was still there. So, I decided to return it to him myself this morning. pic.twitter.com/CiOCdprofY
