    Im not quite sure if BA is the best area for this question? - I've searched boards and havent found this topic, apologies if this not

    Does anyone know who is the most competitive rubbish/ refuse provider in the south dublin area? Most of these providers dont actually list their rates on their website

    You'd be better off in the Dublin subforum.

    City bin do a €5 per month plan with free green bin and €9 to lift the black.

    With five of us the black goes out once every 3 month as we have a waste disposal in the sink.

    Just under a hundred per year.

    I'm in DCC not South Dublin mind you

    a good way to know is to look at your neighbors' bins... in an area in Tallaght for example most people have Greyhound or Thornton, while the latter has fixed fees which you can check online, I would suggest you call the former as it seems their prices vary on a frequent basis.

    who did you look at? panda and greenstar both did last time I checked.
    There was a thread comparing the 2 and they were very similar, it would depend on your expected routine as to which is cheaper.

    in the S dublin forum, as suggested

    I was jsut looking into this. There are rates published on Greenstar website:

    http://www.greenstar.ie/external-forms/index.php

    Comparsion is as follows:

    Standing Charge:

    Panda - €64 (may go up this year)
    Greenstar - €65

    Charge per lift:

    Both €3.20 per lift

    Charge per Kg:

    Panda - .277c per kg
    Greenstar - .26c per kg

    In summary if you put 1000kg's out per year you would save €16. However with greenstars offer of 6 months free then this would rise to €207 for 2015 would makes it worthwhile if you can live with fact that greenstar only collect every 2 weeks. However I have never used greenstar so anybody know how reliable they are?

    I think it'll be all changing from the 1st Jan 2016. As far as I am aware, from then, only payment by weight will be allowed, so the flat rate plans, where you pay per month, regardless of whether you leave out full bins or no bins will not be legal any more. There may be a lift charge as well as a weight charge.
