Sorry I phrased that wrong. I don't have any bins at the mo. Could u recommend a company to supply bins and collect rubbish.

We are with Aes
http://www.aesirl.ie/household-customers/collection-calendars/wexford but as we've only just moved I don't know how they compare price wise with others in the area

vicwatson

From my research AES were cheapest. They've recently taken over the co councils collections

We pay Wastepal €31.25 p/month and could'nt fault the service .- 2 x 240 litre bins and a food waste bin .

Plus text reminder every Sunday evening

We're currently with Wastepal too but they're eliminating garden waste from their compost bins in our area, so I'll be showing then the door shortly. Pity cos their price and service was always as good as or better than anyone.

i was in wexford chipping the co. council bins for aes and alot of people had switched to ray whelan from aes. we were told by our boss aes couldn't compete with ray whelan prices so give him a try see what he's like

Where in County Wexford are you based/do you want the bins collected? Ray Whelan doesn't collect from the majority of places in Co.Wexford

I wouldn't go with ... anyway, they have twice told me lies. Once is bad, twice is policy.

I need mine collected from Wellingtonbridge/Bannow area and I find that Wastepal have increased their prices without even notifying us. Just wondered if there is a website where one can compare prices, or indeed better still if anyone knows for definite of a price lower than Wastepal, which has been quoted above. Thanks.

Is this really a good solid reason? I really can't imagine that AES have a policy of lying.

This might help you decide

Can anyone give me a quote on AES refuse collection, as there is nobody answering their phone.

Thank you.

Thank you for that. When they say that they have not increased prices for the majority of their customers, does this mean that some are therefore paying more than others and if so why would this be?

They told us just recently that we can now put our compost into the waste bin!!!!!! How can that possibly be regarded as proper recycling? We do not do this and are composting it ourselves.

I am beginning to have doubts as to whether any real recycling is being carried out, following the correct procedure now to be honest.

It is confusing to say the least, or is it just me?

Then, in the village there is a collection drum which takes bags of rubbish with anything in it, so I ask, how is that deemed to be proper recycling?

I understood from when recycling began initially, that a bin is provided for compost, one for rubbish and one for recycling of clean plastics, paper etc. Bottles were taken to the glass bank. Now Wastepal say that bottles can also be placed in our Recycling bin!

I have to say it sounds like everything is being dumped together pretty much. I do not want to assume or lay blame where it does not belong, but it is just not in keeping with the original regulations laid down for the collection of household waste.

I care about the environment in which we live and just want to do my bit, so need to be sure that the money I pay is doing just that.

Can anyone tell me why Greenstar, etc. have a fixed €5.50 monthly charge. Is this a government charge?

Sorry, I cannot help there, but would you mind terribly if I ask how much they charge monthly in total and how many bins that covers?

I am just trying to find the cheapest and there is no area where one can compare, so am asking people on here to see if they can help with that.

Thanks a lot and I understand fully if you do not wish to say.

Do you not have access to a web browser? Click on the link I gave you and it gives the prices - you need to enter what area you live.

For a 240litre recycling bin and a 240litre waste bin (collected alternate weeks) it should be about €270.00 per annum or €22.50 per month

Thank you again and sorry for appearing so dim... unfortunately my web browser was not opening pages intermittently today and I have now remedied that and can access all the required info.

We are having such horrendous storms down here that it appears to be affecting our broadband at times.

Have a good evening where ever you are.

Just note the bit where you can contact them if you've been relying on Wastepal for compost collection...

Currently with waste pal which is 27.50 a month for bigger waste bin and smaller recycling bin, could we get it cheaper?

Cantona's Collars

Doubt it,I'm with Wastepal & did a bit of shopping around.Found they were cheapest for me.

Try AES,Greenstar or Ray Whelan for comparison.

lynp27

im with aes e20 per month for a small waste bin but I also get upto 4 of each of the recycling, glass and compost bins so I find the waste bin goes out now only once a month.

Hi,
I have another question on refuse collection in the Rosslare strand area. Basically is there a way of getting rid of rubbish with tags anymore in this area.

Keep away from ........ anyway.

They are very difficult to deal with if you have any problems. I cancelled because of various problems and price increases, I paid for a specific collection at cancellation and it did not take place. The response was basically so what?

Mod Note
Guys i have merged both threads in relation to refuse collections.
Also FEB your last 4 posts on boards.ie are running down a well known refuse collection company. Boards.ie is not the place to be doing this as the company in question could take a liable action against Boards.ie

FEB

Apologies. I visit a lot but do usually post. The particular company has made me very angry.

Anyone would think you were from the competition or something ! :D :P

I can understand your frustration but as i say Boards.ie could get into trouble if i was to allow you to name the company publicly.
If people want they can PM you and you can explain your situation that way.

I am not from the competition and I have documentation of the problems I have had. The latest was today. It very annoying to pay for something that you do not get.

Change supplier ??

I did, and paid the extra charge to get the current bins emptied so they could be removed, and I was told that because I had cancelled, the bins were not emptied. Catch 22.

When Wex. Co. Co. stopped their refuse collection they sold the contract to AES and they are still the cheapest for me. One snag is though, every year since the changeover the price has increased by multiples of the inflation rate and pretty soon will be on a par with the rest.

I had a look around in January for a mate of mine that has no computer access and AES were the cheapest around (and no I don't work for them, just saying the results of my internet searches)

And a Government Landfill Levy went on the costs last year I think (about €75.00 per tonne iirc) thats probably bringing up the prices (?)

FEB

I switched to Wastepal this year because they were cheaper than AES once you used Direct Debit. This is based on my AES bill and the Wastepal web site (http://www.wastepal.com/webclient/webclient_page/3). You get three bins with Wastepal and two with AES. Last year, AES were cheaper.

Got flyer from Ray Whelan,they are doing 6 months half price,the terms are 12 month contract.One month is €23 then the next is €11.50 & so on for the year.

After shopping around, I recently switched from AES (295) to Greenstar (245 special) for 12 months. Wex Town area.
240L Waste and Recycle.
Seems decent.

Has anyone got updated info or is there a comparison site for bin/refuse collection in Wexford?

Thanks
