    I'm with Oxegen and it's around €27 a month on direct debit. That cover's my normal (black) bin collected every week and the recycling (green) bin collected every 2 weeks. I found the service to be top class and they've never let me down in over 2 years.

    Only prob I have is that I don't need to put my bin out every week but I pay for it either way as it's a monthly direct debit. Then again, some months I fill the bin quicker than others....

    I've also heard some negative remarks about Whelan's but I don't know how true they are so don't hold me to it. And, just an observation, AES have let my neighbours down multiple times since I moved down here 2 years ago (i.e bins not collected some weeks) Again, that's just my opinion and may not be the overall case but I thought you should know ;)

    We're with Ray Whelan about 6 years have the General & Recycling 240L started off at €19 now its €27.

    seriously considering bringing rubbish to dump ourselves. Wonder is it much cheaper?

    I just joined Ray Whelan, €18 per month for 1 recycling and small waste bin. Only 2 of us, so not a massive amount of rubbish!!

    I've been with Ray Whelan for a few years now, costs €23 per month for 240L general waste and recycling (Portlaoise). I think you'd be mad to consider bringing the rubbish to the dump yourself! When you factor in the time, fuel and inconvenience of it all I think the collection charge is reasonable and fair (but I wish it was cheaper too!). Anyway it's not cheap to bring stuff out to the dump anymore, I can't remember how much it is per tonne, but you won't save an awful lot and if it were me I'd rather be doing something else on a Saturday morning!

    Using Ray Whealen now with no problems and much more reasonable than AES who we were with.
    There was nothing but problems with AES - they never bothered to actually collect the bins. Spent more time on the phone to them to actually get them to do what I was paying them to do.
