    Tesco sell the small ones you can use for an indoor caddy bin, meaning stuff goes in to the main bin wrapped. My bin company provides one of the bin-sized ones every time, which I can only assume is to reduce the smell etc their own workers have to suffer - surprised that's not more common. That website does seem a good bit cheaper if you buy in bulk though; will check the Tesco price next time - they have both their own brand and that brand sold there.

    The pound shops up here do the bags as well, not sure about quality though. I'd assume the €2 shop will stock them as well.

    Your remarkable insight is appreciated. I will be checking that out and will contact the bin co. to see if they're happy with their use.

    Standing charge is cheaper too. I can't find online prices for Greenstar but it's €22 in Panda, vs. €64 for black bin.

    The point is that we barely use our black bin now, maybe for dog waste or things like soiled kitchen sink sponges. Pretty much everything else is either recycling or compost, glass bank, WEEE disposal or charity shops. Brown bin is paying for it's standing charge very quickly if you are using it lots.
    Seriously it makes sense to embrace it (metaphorically speaking).

    I did the maths and based on last years collection a brown bin works out dearer. You still need a black bin. You still pay per lift and per kg. as the bin is smaller it needs to be put out more often so what you save on the difference per kg you lose out in the lift charges.
