Don't think anyone does tags anymore, allied used to but haven't seen them in a while.

AES still do the tag system ... I think it's €7.50 tag ... but there's a yearly fee also :

Thorntons do a €50 yearly fee, then charge per lift via your account that you must keep topped up ...

That's only available to existing kcc customers and I'm sure the tags are around €9

If it's only domestic waste you want to get rid of you can use the facility at the Esso/Spar station on the Clane Rd. where I think it costs €5 for two bags.

The Thornton's deal is hard to beat if you recycle (which is free). Think we've had 2 or 3 black bins and 1 compost bin out in 18 months so it should be working about €70-80 a year altogether.

I dont get it, you've put out 2/3 bins and paid 140-160 euro for it.
Maybe i'm missing something

Thorntons give you three bins.
- Black for general waste
- brown for compost able food waste
- green for recyclable paper, washed tins etc

You pay a fixed charge per annum of €50 and then per lift - but only for the black and brown bins. There is no lift charge for the green bin.

So, with some management you can get the best value with Thorntons!

That's it exactly... the green bin goes out every two weeks for us. Once your good at limiting the amount of food waste you have pretty much everything else is recycleable except used kitchen roll, tea bags, egg shells... stuff like that.

Very impressive from both of ye.

That works out at about 1kg of waste a week.

Well it's only myself and herself in the house, vast majority of our waste would be just packaging, bottles, jars.
