Is the green bin free?

    There's probably a wheelie bin section on Boards but I'm looking for a quick answer and the thread can be closed.

    Anywho, is it free to have your green wheelie bin collected? I ask because I've got an outstanding debt with Oxigen and won't be able to clear it until next week. I had a quick look on the website but nothing sprung out.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Cheers.

    Green bin is €1.50 a lift I think. Anyway you do pay whatever the amount is.

    edit I'm thinking of Greensh1te

    So they wouldn't collect the green one if they already don't collect the black/navy one? I was told it was free.

    My green bin lift is free. Just pay for the black and brown.

    Depends on the area but typically it is free provided you pay for your main bin.

    On similar subject... Bin collectors put note on my Brown Bin that I must use Paper Bags for food waste from now on. Those biodegradable plastic bags not accepted any more.

    Where are we supposed to get them....

    I think before we missed a payment and they collected our recycling and not our landfill waste bin.

    It's free to recycle if you bring the stuff to a recycling depot.
    I live not far from one and so no way I'm paying.
    I just wait until I have five or six bags full and then pop up.

    Anybody want to buy both my wheelie bins? In fact, you can have them for free. What's the catch? There is none, except in order to avail of this very generous offer you must take the bins and the mountain of sh*t inside them.

    Failing that, I'm going to have to do a Shawshank Redemption on it and let rubbish fall down my trouser leg whilst walking around my estate.

    I wasn't keen on waiting for a month to get an answer. If I was I'd of sent Oxigen an email.

    I have never heard of any company here who will collect a green bin for free -as in just the green bin. In my book if you have to hand over money for a service to be done then its not free.

    I was late on a panda bin payment so the green bin was not collected, as I expected and have no issue with.

    Some do consider it "free" this is what annoys me, you have people putting unaddressed mail into your house and some of these cunts think its fine to litter your house with this crap since they claim you should have free paper collection. Many don't, I say unaddressed mail instead of junk mail as I learnt in the politics forum that some of these asshole cunts doing canvassing ignore junkmail signs, but will obey "no unaddressed mail" signs.

    I think the Council used to do it, before the private providers took over?

    I remember renting an apartment a few years ago where our green bin was free, and there was no black or brown bin at all. Maybe the landlord paid for the green bin, but it would have been unusual for him, since he charged us for everything, even the PRTB registration!
