    Hi,

    Can anyone recommend the cheapest bin collection service in Waterford for mostly recyclable rubbish ?, I use the bottle bank in Tesco Poleberry for bottles and cans and 90% of my rubbish is recyclable stuff like cardboard and plastic containers. Id only be emptying the brown bin once in a blue moon, the black bin even less.

    Thanks in advance

    We'd be similar in our usage. Greenstar works best for us. Happy to learn of an alternative but your criteria was the same as ours when we were looking around.

    Here in kilkenny we have free recycle each sat, a recycle lorry is there from am till about three and take all recyclable goods, have them in clear plastic bag .. I am sure there must be same service available in waterford. For the rest of the goods which cannont be recycled get a bin i woodies about 15 euro and have plastic bag in it, you can take it to many petrol station which takes bags of rubish usually two for five euro... Excellent service

    Thanks, parents are with Oxigen but I might ring Green star and see what the deal is.

    Mr Binman used to do that here, it was great at the time and suited me down to the ground, nothing like it now though :-(

    I'd be interested to hear how this all works out in case you unearth a better deal than we have

    We have QRL in Tramore. It was cheapest in year one, then the bill came for year 2 and we found a cheaper option which QRL matched

    Newrath is only across the bridge, so if you have a car it might be suitable.

    According to the Kilkenny Co Co site, they only accept cardboard, paper and plastic bottles. http://www.kilkennycoco.ie/eng/Services/Environment/Recycling_and_Composting/Recycling_Facilities/Newrath_Recycling_Centre_-_Sat_Only.html

    Is that free or what's the cost? Thanks.

    It's free, as far as I can make out. I only heard about it myself tonight, on this thread.

    This is indeed most excellent. Gonna rock up to that place next sat with an empty corn flakes box, a trailer load of cans, a mattress and a dead horse and see how I get on. Thanks :D .. actually seriously thanks and won't do any of those things outside of the corn flakes box :)
