Bin company for Collection on Demand only

    Hi

    Is there any Bin-Company in Dublin that collects on demand only? We have very little stuff to Bin (most goes to a recycling center close by), and it would be nice just to use (and pay :-) ) just for occasionally collection.

    Without knowing for sure. This would not make much sense commercially for a bin company so unlikely I’d imagine.

    No firm would willingly do that as the cost of the trucks prowling to look for bins to pick up is quite significant.

    There are a very, very small number of areas that have Greyhound pay per use bags - and no actual bins, due to street constraints. And DCC's list of those areas doesn't seem to be available online anymore!

    https://bigbin.ie/ may work if there's one in your area, but retain the paper tickets in case you are asked to prove that you are disposing of waste legally.

    We take ours to the Bring Centre in the North Strand.

    I'm considering doing the same.

    I think It’s €4 per black bag at North Strand.

    We recently (bag area) got some targetted fliers from Greyhound, offering three little bins (they call them caddies) for a whopping 18.99 a month. Bizarre when the three full size bins are 16.50 a month, less on offers.
