    Can anyone suggest alternatives to city council refuse collection i.e. wheelie bins, bin tags etc.
    Driving to the dump isn't an option but I know there are a few people out there who might do this for a small fee...

    Thanks

    hmmm. interesting. if it is illegal i know of a few places that are bending the law :)

    The only reason i'm trying to find an alternative is because we've only 2 months left on our lease and aren't renewing so by the time the council decides to charge me a few hundred it'll be time to move out... Up to now the landlord has been dealing with the rubbish.

    Thanks for your input anyway

    Because there is also a flat fee charged in Cork AFAIK, then there's E5 tags to buy every week as well.

    I was with Wiser but am now with Country Clean - got €100 off for the first year. Was told as well if there are only two people in the house that it stays at this lower level indefinitely.

    As of last week, City Council have introduced a charge of 2euro for recycling at the Kinsale Road site.
    Disgraceful ............. I know it's only a nominal amount, but wrong in principle. All recycling should be free.
