Wheelie Bins

Tar.Aldarion

If you buy a house in Dublin City Centre, what do people do in terraced houses with no outside space at back and the front opens onto the footpath? There is nowhere to store them? Are they allowed to use tagged bags, I never see any around?

Sometimes wheel them through the house out the back.

Very few houses have absolutely no outside space, but there will be the likes of some terraced cottages that have been extended at the back. In designated areas you can buy tags for sticking to your waste - mostly bags, but sometimes carboard boxes. You need to register an account and buy tags from specific shops (and possibly post offices). It likely means putting out waste more frequently than you would otherwise like, especially anything food-related or wet.

We live in a small city centre apartment block with no outdoor space. We buy bags for recycling and general rubbish and can put them out once a week. We take glass to the bottle bank, and keep food waste (very little in our household) in a large Tupperware container in either the fridge or freezer and drop them to someone with a brown bin every now and then (so there’s nothing gross or wet in the general waste bin). It’s manageable, but if you had a lot of food waste it would be more difficult.

Thanks! Looks like I'll be moving into a house with no outside space so tags on bags it will be, as I can't imagine wheelie bins inside the place!

Living outside Dublin, but in a small 3rd floor apartment with balcony space but no outdoor space at ground level. Bags from the 1 authorised company is the way to go here.

When everything moved over to private refuse there was a large swathe of streets exempt from having to have wheelie bins - the page detailing it has now disappeared

If Abbey Waste service your area you just buy the bags from a local shop
