Hi,

Does anybody know if these are any good at all ?

I can't see the advantage if from July 1st it's pay by weight and not lift?

Don't get your point. I will still have same amont of rubbish in July as I do now and will need to fit it in the bin somehow. So whether by weight or lift, I still need to squash it in bin.

Ah, I didn't realise you weren't able to fit everything in between collections.
I thought you were trying to minimise the amount of lifts.

If it's for your green bin, then I think the nature of the contents are quite springy and it'll do well to achieve its claimed 70%.

Are you already squeezing the air out of all plastic bottles/tetra packs, flattening them and then putting the cork back on them to keep them flat?

Don't know if this ones any good to you. Bit expensive maybe. I don't use one though, so can't vouch for it.

Yep, €7.50 on top for postage. I've not seen them in any shops.
