The Reply From Fingal COCO

Dear Brian
Please let us know the reason you need a 2nd green bin. In order to qualify for a 2nd green bin, there has to be a certain number of people in the household, or a medical condition which increases the amount of recycling material in your household. Once you revert to me with this information, I will pass your request on to a supervisor.


Dear _____
There are 4 adults and 1 junior in the house , the green bin fills very quickly so we end up having to fill the black bin
with recyclable waste which ends up in landfill! We have tried store up the excess for when the green bin is emptied
but as soon as this comes its full. We also bring our aluminium cans to the local bottle bank to save space in the green bin.

Best regards

Is it just me or are they extremly reluctant to give out second bins in the knowledge you will be forced to put recycleables in the black bin ensuring them of extra revenue in the form of the 8 Euro Bin tags> Why dont they want me to get a second green bin? Yes i do plan to put virtually recycle all i can. How do i QUALIFY FOR A SECOND GREEN BIN???? Ehhhh i would have thought that filling up the bin in half a week was qualification enough? Do i need 10 Adults living in the house? Its a standard semi D for crying out loud?!
Any thoughts?]]>
