Bin collections Mayo

crossmolinalad

Almost a year ago the got rid of the waste bags collections (was for us a good alternative) promising that wheelybins should be paid by collections or weight
Had no problems with that but we are a year further and pay a 355 euro a year for just 6 bin collections , two times green and for times blue a year
Do somebody knows when they do start with pay by weight or collection???
I'm sick to pay for others who overloaded their bins and pay "nothing" and I pay way to much for almost nothing

Where in Mayo and who is your current bin company.

The pay by weight system was to be introduced in January of this year but some waste companies began to hike up their fees. There's now a freeze on prices and the introduction of pay by weight is delayed so that the pricing issue could be sorted. It was supposed to be the middle of this year.
That's not stopping you switching to another provider though. I'm sure there's one or two already on the pay by weight system. With the little amount of rubbish you have, it might be worth a drive to the Rathroeen landfill site a few times a year where you're only paying for what you dump/recycle.

I seem to recall that the Gov. said that the bin company is supposed to issue a letter, before the new weight charges, saying how much it would now cost with the new pricing based on your previous bin weights over the last x number of months.

We'll see I guess... Not much time left for them to do it, if they are....

Live rural and is the only one who is doing our local place

What I want to tell is I have a friend who have a household of 4 and is on pay by weight and pay in a year half of what I have to pay in a year
In my opinion I pay way to much

and driving to the landfill is no option we don't have a car

Just trying to think of other alternatives for you. Do you have a neighbour that might be in a similar situation. Maybe you could use their bins and share the cost?

Can you drive?

Rent a car/van once a year for the day and do a dump run.
