Broken wheelie bin

jc2008

Hi

I broke the wheels off our green bin about 3 weeks ago. Left it out then on the road anyway and it got emptied. Left it out again this week but it didn't get emptied this morning (everyone else's did) - presumably as it had no wheels.
(It was an accident caused by my own stupidity).

The landlord has the account with Greyhound (I think) but he's away currently. Can I ring up and get a replacement bin which I'll pay for? Or would I have to purchase a bin separately myself.

Thanks

have a look on adverts.ie usually few there probally work out cheaper (seen them free/10 euro)then getting replacement from greyhound

Its a wonder they didn't take the old bin altogether. maybe throw the old one into the new one when you get it....

The bins are barcoded to identify them with a customer. A replacement bin is €35 with my lot. You can buy wheels cheap and they're easy replace if you Google how to do it there's a trick to it.

One of the wheels fell of mine and greyhound sent me one free! Give them a call.

On the back of mine.

If you are out of contract, maybe switching to citybin? They will send out new bins free.

Is the bin, the original one for the house? Maybe it was never sturdy to start with

I would replace them yourself from parts online. Even better if you can move to citybin as they will provide new bins too.

I have had several experiences with greyhound on this kind of issue and the outcome was not satisfactory.
