    Our bin collection for a rubbish/recycling(both average sized bin) and small food bin. They might take a an extra bag of recycling if you leave it beside the bin.
    The bins are collected every fortnight and it costs about €14 per collection.

    I recycle everything.

    Anything that the recycling depot don't take, like food scraps....... I just put in a blender and flush down the toilet.

    35e a month, that's for 2 refuse and 2 recycle/compost.

    We have started using the recycle and compost bins a bit more lately and it's made a big difference.

    €5 per month standing charge.

    €5 per lift for recycling bin - only leave it out 3 Times a year
    € 12.50 for general waste. Last left out in November 16

    240l bins.

    So € 100 per year.

    Depends, I don't have a contract collection I do it by the load. So it's basically a 12 euro black bin every six-eight weeks, a 5 euro green bin every four to six weeks and a 10 euro brown bin as and when, during the growing season it's filled every two weeks but in the Nov-March period hardly used at all.

    I recycle most of my stuff. I'd have a black bag once a month for non recycling. I give it to the mother in law and she puts it in her bin, I give her a few quid for her trouble. Saves me a fortune.

    Mine is €240 a year with AES for 4 bins I just renewed it for the year there was no mention in the email of pay by weight/lift so I just paid it, hopefully it's fixed for 12 months.

    270 Euro a year for 240l recycling bin and 140l rubbish bin. Collected every second week. Will probably have to move to 240l rubbish bin next year due to upcoming new baby and associated nappies. I think it's about 310 a year.

    I know with our bin we get six month contracts. If you read the fine print it says charges may change during the billing period.

    So I've heard. If our bin company moves to pay by weight we might have to consider reusable but the thought of the washing!

    If that was suggested by the government Claire Daly and Mary Lou would have a field day in the Dail!

    From AES

    240L General Waste €13.00 Per lift
    240L Recycling (Paper, cans, some plastics) €6.00 Per lift

    Surcharge of .18cent per kilo applies on all waste bins that weigh above 55kgs.

    No brown bin or glass, so that has to go in general waste.

    Have a bit of room for composting the fruit and veg peelings outside.

    Bit disgusted by 'competition' meaning multiple bin trucks running up and down the road each collecting the odd bin (because at those prices, we'll avoid putting it out), all probably at unsustainable cost.

    Composite food scraps and recycle a lot all so only put the black bin out about once a month or so and even then it not always full our bin costs are very cheap.

    Can't stand the idea some people have that they should not have to pay for bins or that they are being ripped off.

    Only have my "dirty" bin collected once every two or three years.

    Live alone, very little food I cook goes to waste, if there is any, leave it out for the birds.

    20% full recycling bin gets collected once a month even then the stuff could be all trampled down on.

    Bring glass and clothes to be recycled at local recycling centre. The absolute state some scum do leave it in is a disgrace. :mad:
