    I moved into town for the summer and there are no bins with our house so we've been placing the blackbags out the back, but now we're leaving in like 3 weeks and have to get rid of them. I've only ever had communal skips, so I have never had to deal with the council/other companies. No one has ever seen what the neighbours do with their rubbish.

    There's about 10-12 bags and I stress, we don't want to dump illegally!

    What's the story with those white bags? You buy them, fill them up, leave them outside and they're collected? Or do you have to call up, and register/pay more money?

    Any other ideas?

    Ring City Bin, they should be able to help.
    Or drive the bags to Barna Waste out the Curragh line

    The white bags are City Bin bags. You just leave them out in the street every morning except Sunday. Hollands off Eyre Square are the cheapest for them. If you have a lot of bags I'd say you are best going to the dump.

    O'Brien's have a deal on City Bin bags if you buy a few of them. I saw a sign in there the other day. Not too sure the exact price though.

    Compared to the price of prepaid bags, if you have access to a car, its way cheaper. If you are worried about mess/smell, double-bag them and/or get a small tarp/plastic sheet, drive with the windows open. I'd say it'd be worth it even to do a couple of trips.

    Remember we are talking about three-month old rubbish here .. not just your average two weeks old stuff.

    OP ... eeeewww! Hope I don't get you as a neighbour! Sorry, but it's gotta be said. If you move in to a place like that again, please oh please get a bag out every week.
