    Im in Dublin 20, palmerstown and i have to say.. even though the new bin charges mean its MORE expensive to put out a bin as you pay by volume, its only more expensive if you take into account the volume BEFORE it came out.

    For instance we used to have a black wheelie bin every single week to go out. Now we recycle as much as we can and we only seem to use the black bin every few weeks but we have the green recycling bin every week plus a bag full of glass for the bring ctr.

    So on an environmental front the new high bin charges are good :D

    To reduce your waste further, get a biomass (composting) bin and place it in your garden (provided you not in an apartment)
    Can be got from local concil or garden center.

    p.s. my local recycling center(collins ave, D.9) is now taking grass clipping/hedge cutting and engine/cooking oil - They seems to be added to the list of things that can be recycled.
