    Can someone tell me what the new changes are to the Oxigen waste collection service in Dundalk and are they bringing in a pay by weight service?

    Got a letter from them yesterday stating that from Aug 14th they will only be lifting the black bin every 2nd week along with brown bin and green bin the following week.

    They are giving 7 bags too for extra waste till you get used to new system (of them doing half the job they are paid to do).

    Also said that the pay by weight will be introduced in the future.

    No price drop, they are using the price of fuel and landfill costs to keep prices up.

    we did our own little dropping of our own and now bin share with someone else. Oxygen are a joke I complained about them collecting our bin at 11pm when kids are trying to sleep and was met with basically and Oh well.

    Grow up!
    There's a world of difference between a Black Wheelie Bin (as we were discussing) and a black plastic bag (as you interjected). :rolleyes:

    I'd say my comment was understood despite my error. Asking you if you wanted to play spot the pedant was quite accurate in your response to me.
