"Pay by Weight" Waste Disposal

8 years ago
Any expats in Ireland faced with the new 'pay by weight' regime for your trash bins? I suspect this issue might be 2016's water charge debacle. Right now, we're paying €345 for 26 pickups a year of two 110 Kilo containers, one recycling and one regular trash...which works out to six cents a kilo.... but effective next month, we'll be charged by the weight of our trash bins, plus a service charge. Now, the recycling bin is free, but the cost for regular garbage will be a MINIMUM of 22 cents per kilo, set by the local waste hauler... and I suspect that anyone with a normal-sized family is going to find their expense for trash disposal going sky high. Anyone heard from their waste hauler what they intend to charge?
