Pay by weight wheelie bins

I paid a yearly fee in November so I wouldn't have to worry about topping up my account.
Now my account is set to zero. Is this the same for everyone else?
Greenstar effectively get to charge me twice until November.

Have any oxigen customers been notified of the new pricing ?

As far as I understand the supplier is required to give 30 days notice of price changes !

It was mentioned on 1 radio 1 today that under contract law, you should receive the remaining money paid as a credit on your account if staying or a refund and you should be released form your contract.

I was on the ray darcy show.

In my case, I will make a saving!

With Green star.

I was paying €27 p/m (black one week / green brown other week).

Now it will be €14.50 p/m

and .25 / kg black bin
and .15 / kg brown bin

My usual bins are 18 kg black so €4.50
and 3kg brown so €0.45c ( we have a cat! )

So a normal month I'll pay 14.50 and 9.45 = 23.95

My green bin is usually 11kg each, this will be free under pay by weight.

Though I will be charged 2 months standing charge in July as its a bi monthly bill, I'd say Aug bill will be over 40 quid, but it should calm down after that.

How does this compare to oxigen?
