    Ok So my bins are due for renewal tomorrow. I'm currently with Panda who've been pretty good to be fair but their putting on a big hike this year to €334 for 52 lifts of the black bin and fortnightly lifts of the green. That's up from about €285 last year.

    They have a few options...
    Option 1: €334 - Total charge for year. Weekly black and fortnightly green/brown.
    option 2: €74 ever 3 Months - 7 black lifts and fortnightly green/brown. (€9.50 for any extra black lifts)
    option 3: €76 service charge and tags €9.85/black €6.80/green €4.50/brown



    Just wondering what you're paying and if there's a cheaper option?

    Oxigen are €253.00 per 12 month x 26 lifts (240L). We manage with the 26 black bin lifts and seemly the brown bins are on the way. Not sure if those prices are just for new customers.

    I have a thorntons pay per lift account and it only works out at about €120 per year, the black bin is €8.50 per lift and the green bin is free, I don't need a brown bin cos I have wastemaid.
