    Am with Greenstar myself. Very happy with the service and the price. About 270 Euro for the year I think.

    I use Greenstar too. Pay around 265/year. They will provide us with three bins for glass, refuse, and recycle.

    This is what I do:

    Leftover cooked food and some raw foods, I feed to the birds. They will eat anything especially the crows! I leave all food waste out for the birds and the little dinasours will eat everything you throw at them!

    Glass can be taken to the free banks, I just clean it, smash it (so it is less volume) and put it onto a container which I just tip into recycling bins provided for free by the council.

    Vegatable waste goes into a compost bin which is spread over the garden every so often.

    The only thing I am stuck on is the paper and plastic which makes up a huge amount of my rubbish due to the usual packaging from shops. If anyone has a solution to this I would be totally sorted.

    A company that just collected paper and plastic would be ideal. I find greenstar painful as it requires 3 bins which is just a big inconvenience and responsibility.

    Just for anyone else in the same position I went with a company called Wiser. Good packages available. I went with the tag system of €8 for a 240 litre bin.
