What time of the day is your green bin lifted?

littlebitdull

No matter how early we leave our bin out we never seem to make it in time. And you cant leave them out the night before as its littering - and anyway the bloomin dogs would get at it.

Last time the truck came down the road at 6.10 AM!! And even at that we nearly made it out on time ...

We are in castleknock ... nearer the ashtown end...

Ours used to be noon then it moved to 2pm and with the last re shuffle it has been around 5pm, today it still has not been collected.

Don't know what time they used to collect it, it was sometime while I was at work, but it's later now. I think it was sometime after 7pm when they collected it this week.

littlebitdull

Ours did not get emptied yet again.... and DH put it out at around 6.am this morning ..so I have no idea if they came before that or just never turned up at all.

Like the above, ours used to be early but is now usually between 6pm and 7.30pm.

Drives me nuts as a lot of people leave them out all night and day on windy days with the lid open. :mad:

their times are very inconsistent,i hear greyhound waste are taking over from oxigen soon,maybe they will improve things.

I put my bin out the night before it is to be collected. I don't see any problem with doing this

Anytime between 7am and 7pm and then its hunt your green bin time. They pick it up by the house then dump it up the road somewhere.:mad:

To be honest I used to think the same, that I was putting it out too late but actually in our area they don't come til quite late at night (once it was near midnight!!) so I leave it out during the day & hope it's still there at night when I come home or the next morning

Am in whitestown area

We used to have a morning collection and we had to leave it out the night before or we would miss it as they would come so early.
Now we have an afternoon collection and it has been 9pm on occassion before it's been collected.
I can't keep up with all the bin collections, haing to put the brown one out one week, black the next, some weeks both are collected and then the green bin on a totally other day.
But hopefully we're doing our bit to save the planet!!

Well as long as you take all the extra bin trucks driving around out of the equation...

And while we're going to all this effort to save the planet, the cream crackers in Dunsink have a massive tyre fire at least twice a week, causing more serious pollution problems for Dublin than any number of green or brown bins will ever eradicate!!
You wonder why you bother sometimes

Never had any problems doing this, FWIW, it gets collected 11am-ish in Allendale(I think)

Good point!!

Mine gets picked up late afternoon I think. The odd day when I come home from work it wouldn't be collected yet but usually is.

Haven't had any problems with it, the majority of the time they leave mine and my neighbours bin right outside our driveways again.

Why can't you leave the bin out overnight provided it doesnt fly open? I do that with my black bin as it gets quite heavy and most mornings I'm rushing off to work so I have it at the end of my driveway overnight and just pop on the tag in the morning and hoosh it to the kerb in the morning.

I put mine out the night before also. It's the "with the lid open" bit that I object to.

DvB

Mine gets emptied at anything between 6.30-7.30am, used to be a bit later but now i have to leave it out the night before in case its a 6.30am collection, have never had any prob with doing this TBH as i never allow it to be overfilled, though as mentioned in a post above finding the thing when i get home from work that evening is an adventure in itself at times.

Ours normally get empited around 7.30 am.

I'm lucky in that my next door neighbours are really helpful and as the wife is at home during the day she'll put my bin into my driveway after it's been emptied, so I've never had to go looking for it. That said, I do also have the number of the house on each one, which is handy should my neighbours be away. You can buy big stick-on numbers for about €1.50 per numeral in Atlantic.

My neighbour also does that most times, it's very handy, they even put a bin tag on it one day Best neighbours ever.

I used white paint to put the numbers onto the bins

I think they requested the bin to be put out either the night before, or before 7am, if I remember right.

Just curious, what do you put in your green bin that would attrack dogs?
