Yes, but as it is you still have to wait 2 weeks if you forget so there's no change there.

The point is if you miss a collection you will have 4 weeks of rubbish by the time collection comes, I am sure it makes business sense but I think a lot of people will move from AES because of this move,

When I said you have to wait 2 weeks if you forget now I of course meant another 2 weeks so, yes, 4 weeks between collections. That's the way it is currently for each bin.

Can't see many people moving from AES over (again, no affiliation).

Just got letter from AES Nenagh rubbish collection saying that they are now going to collect both bins every 2 weeks instead of collecting general waste and recycling on alternate weeks. Think this is a nightmare and even though per bin the number of collections are the same.

What do other people think ?

What are the alternatives to AES in Nenagh and anyone got any recommendations.

This is a reactive move by AES because another company has started collecting in Nenagh.

Clean Ireland have partnered up with Ardcroney waste, they supply the food bin + the sink caddy with brown bags, a large glass collection bin, a bigger than standard recycling bin,waste bin and will also supply a grass collection bin if you want one for the summer months.

They collect 3 bins (recycling waste and food) on Mondays or Fridays depending on your area every two weeks. Glass collections are notified in advance AFAIK.

I have no affiliation to this company I do know one of their reps.

They still collect every 2 weeks but seem better value as its's about 50 euro cheaper then AES and they offer way more. Anyone move to Clean Ireland yet ?

I was with Ardcroney Waste, and its been a seamless transfer over to Clean Ireland.

The guys arrived one day with my new bigger recycling bin, food waste bins (one outside bin and one caddy + brown bags so you don't have a build up of mess in either bin), glass recycling bin and re-badged the waste bin.

I've been told that the more you recycle the less you'll eventually pay for your rubbish as its they take a weight every time they collect.

I take this to mean that, my basic service charge won't increase if I continue as I am now.

They also, send you a plastic card that you can pay as you go in the post office or bill pay outlets.

I'm happy with the service, my recycling output from home has increased and no hassle of having to go to bottle banks either.

Does anyone have a mobile number for plumber Ted Brady (if so you could PM me)- his landline number isn't working and can't find it on the net anywhere.

Fibre optic went live today in Nenagh. Hooray! I signed up with Vodafone today, best deal all around. Changed from slow digiweb at 50 euros and now going to have super fast internet in about 10 days for 37 euros. BTW initially the download speed will be 'just' 25 megs and upload 7 megs for All providers in Nenagh. Vodaphone will up-speed as and when it's upgraded by eircon for free.

I am very interested on how this turns out with Vodafone. For €37 is it unlimited download? Will you let us know what speeds you are getting when up and running? Thanks

Interested in hearing what people say about Eircom E-Fibre also. 18 month contract is still a deterrent for me.

Hi Sam27
I will let you know how I get on np. I chose a 24 month contact as installation is free and they have a contract clause that says if the service quality is not as described you can get out without any penalties. They give you the contact via phone and record it. I also recorded it just in case.... BTW Vodafone checked the speed for my line. I also contacted eircom and they kept saying up to 50 mb download even when I asked on the chat whether he could check the actual speed and he wouldnt do it ! So thats a watch out. Also eircom have 35 euros a month for 6 months and then go to 50 euros and no get out clause.

Hi All,
can anyone give me any info on millersbrook (thinking of buying there ) it looks nice but i would be new to the area so would appreciate any feedback as regards anti social behaviour and such
Thanks

Fries-With-That

Hi,

Millers Brook is a fine estate, with spacious green areas, I like the way its laid out AFAIK there are no issues with anti social behaviour. My daughter lives there and has never mentioned anything.

I notice that there are a few fantastic houses for sale down there, including one with a basement.

irelandjoe

My first house was in The Copse in Millersbrook. I loved my time there no issues.... Nots of kids about playing etc We moved to build a few years ago now. Still unfinished but cleaned up since I was there

sam27

I hear Eircom E-fibre is up and running now in Nenagh.

Anyone going to try it out?

Boscoirl

will be going for it in a few weeks, our line is compatible according to the website, it would want to be as I can see the exchange from the house

sam27

Took the plunge and signed up for it today. Paying the same but am now in 18 month contract. Waiting on call for engineer to put in new line and modem

Why did you have to sign up ?

I have had 2 letters in the past few months telling me that I will get a free upgrade. I am awaiting their call.

The latest missive they sent me also promised a €10 reduction on my current package.

I am out of contract, and I don't think having to commit to an 18 month contract to avail of a service that they are being paid for by direct debit is reasonable.

The Lost Sheep

Shane Delaney from the town had an accident in Australia on the 16th of March and damaged his spinal cord badly. He is currently in Dublin getting treatment for his injuries at the moment. Shane has a long road ahead of him and will incur huge costs to get the equipment he needs to have some comfort in life.
A benefit day and night(On September 14th) will help in a way towards that.
During the day we hope to have the Limerick Leprechauns out to play a game against a Nenagh selection hopefully including some former Munster and Ireland players.
During the evening we have a selection of local bands warming up the crowd for the Wigwam Glam Band. Pogues tribute band called Poguetry In Motion will also be preforming on the night.
There will be numerous jerseys and other items up for auction including a centenary South African test jersey, 1 of only 3000 made complete with paperwork and gift box.

I got the same two letters but not the €10 reduction one. Im out of contract also. How much are you paying per month? Im paying €50 per month. I do so by paying money each week from bank on line transfer.

An engineer has to call to the house and install new modem with points. We then in contract for 18 month @ €50 per month. I am against this 18 months, but said what the hell! Id be paying them that anyways. But now cant move to another provider for 18 months. I had no intention of doing so anyway as I am happy with service.

I am paying on average €60 per month unlimited package. I spoke with one of the door to door guys today and he told me that its an 18 month contract if you want to get fibre.

I received a letter from S*Y TV today offering me Unlimited broadband with calls for four months for only €20 per month and a reduction of 20% of my viewing package for 6 months.

It might be worth shopping around before signing up to Eircom for 18months

I agree with you but decided to stay with Eircom and sign up to 18 month contract. Will be set up by end of month.

Moanyme

Good Luck with the eircom installation. This fibre is so quick it's like having a warp drive in the house. We had a few minor connecting issues but all was ok after an hour.

Hi
We are having a small wedding in the area in a couple of months and we are on the lookout for someone to music at the afters. As I am not from the area, could anyone recommend a one man band / small group locally that might be appropriate.
Thanks
