Was yesterday defo collection day?

Noticed my neighbours hasnt been collected for last two weeks even tho he had tag on it. Last week it was really overloaded and lid wouldnt close so maybe thats why but dont know why they didnt collect it yest unless there was no collection?

The Black Oil

Our brown wasn't collected on Friday, but the green one was. We paid, but never received the 2009 stickers. Rang the council (they requested we email, also) and they confirmed we had paid and are going to send out the stickers. They said to be on standby as they might pick it up during the week.

It wasn't overflowing either.

thanks it does, I checked my calendar and turns out our black bins are only collected 3 out of 4 weeks, I dont put mine out every week but was under the weird impression that they were collected every week, thanks everyone

Hi,

Hope you don't mind me going slightly off topic here, but I'm wondering if yiz can help!
Myself and my partner recently bought a house in Balbriggan and are not sure of the bin collection situation- are the bins collected when tagged, or can you pay for a year's worth of collections? Are there different companies that you can choose from?
Any help would be appreciated- it's one of the things I forgot to research and now I'm afraid we'll have no way to get rid of our bins until we organise something!!

Thanks again,

L

Hi Lilly,

There is an annual waste charge which is paid for all 3 bins (black, green and brown). Fingal send you out a sticker when it is paid and you put this on your bins just underneath the handle.

Everytime you put your black bin out you need to also attach a bin tag which you purchase in most local convenience shops. You don't need a bin tag for green or brown bin collections.
