Brown Bins in Apartments

Jambonjunior

I live in a small apartment building and we a bin bag collection to dispose of refuse. I only found out recently that homes in Dublin are meant to use brown bins to dispose of their waste. I've never seen that option offered to us.

Do other apartment dwellers use brown bins?

Muahahaha

I heard this is a problem in some apartment complexes and it ends up with people throwing brown waste in with their recycling, the recycling then gets contaminated and cant be recycled, instead it then has to be sent to landfill anyway.

You'll have to contact the directors of the owners management company to get it changed so people can recycle properly.

We buy bags for regular waste and recycling, with no option for brown waste. We keep our kitchen waste in a container in the freezer, and take it to a friend’s brown bin every few weeks. There is no storage for any waste in our building, we drop our bag out the morning of collection. I think this is the case for a lot of smaller apartment buildings, particularly in the city centre.

I would never keep a brown bin in an apartment.


They attract mice like flies to ****.

My apartment block got them in last year.
2 brown bins in each set of bin stores.
