Bin Wars!

I see Barna are trying to grab back a bit of their recently lost market share with a "pay as you use" service.

Got a leaflet through the letterbox today... you can get either a 120 or 240 litre bin for landfill... €5 per lif for the 120, €8 for the 240 and a 240 litre recycling bin lift costs €3.

You sign up online & then "top-up" on their website, by phone or with Payzone in shops.

Seems like a good deal - especially if, like me, you're usually putting out half empty bins.

Great to see a bit of competition finally bringing down the prices of waste disposal - I paid nearly 300 bucks last year just for bins. Long may it continue!!

seen greenstar doing a pay per weight offer, and acc is billed accordingly, no idea of the costs though.

we put ours our every tree to four weeks at a tenner a time, recycle as much as possible.

The pay by lift idea is great... I reckon I'll get away with 10 landfill lifts a year and around 5 recycling ones. Most of my food waste goes in the compost bin.
