Refuse collection in Cork City

    I've just moved into my new place in the City and I'm totally clueless about how refuse works. I've got a 2009 sticker on my bin (it was there when I arrived) and I've got a bunch of City Council recyclable bags.

    Is my bin paid for the year? Do I need to also buy tags? How do I go about distinguishing between recyclable waste and other waste (do I just put other waste in different colour bags)?

    Apologies for the ridiculously naive questions!

    You will still need to buy tags every time you put your bin out. As for the recycling, I think its written on the bags what your allowed to put in them.

    And do I just use different bags (not the transparent recyclable ones) for my non-recyclable waste or how does it work?

    Anything you cant recycle goes in your wheelie bin

    Ah! So do you need a tag if you want to just leave out recyclable stuff? Also, is there any easy way to find out when bin collection day is (ringing the council or asking a neighbour, isn't easy enough for me, lol)?

    Thanks for the help by the way, much appreciated.

    Well mine is collected on a Tuesday. One week they take the bin , the next they take your recycling. Ask a neighbour which day yours will be collected

    No just for your bin. So you will need a tag every second week. Think they are 6 euro
