Panda,annual bin charge

horse7

Got them on the phone,they say they are sending out letters in July,but no refunds now.

BohsCeltic

Has anyone got one of them e-tags yet ? Got a letter to say that will be the only way to pay now but you have to ring up to register.

I rang them last week to register - easy enough process you just need your bank card, They put through a debit of 12c to verify card. Then you just has to put out your bin and the payment will be charged to your account

I thought it was going to be pay by weight (kg)
is that the new payment method until June/July when the regulations kick in?

Yes ,it is. Really its just a transition from the old bin tag system.

Of course all CS staff will be told to give the same response to any inquiries: "No sorry, we don't know anything about charges that will kick in once it goes pay-by-weight but we will let you know in due course"

Hi guys

Does anybody know what bins are being collected in Dublin 15 (Hartstown) tomorrow? Trying to find out for my mum (as she was saying some charges are taking effect after tomorrow - I don't know!?!), and she doesn't have her account details to hand.

Straylight

The Panda collection for where I am in Hartstown is on Tuesday, not tomorrow. If yours is the same then it's the black and brown bins this week.

I got a prepaid card in today. It says if you top up by less than €20 there is a €2 admin charge.
Also they said you have to have two advance payments on the card otherwise no bins will be lifted.
What did i pay €110 in December for then ?
They have me confused so will have to fire off an email.

I believe the €110 charge is for the "overall" service, irrespective of how many or few bins put out--- each Black is currently charged for as per details above-- with speculation being that all bins will be charged separately, at differing amounts, from a date yet to be confirmed.

From 1st of June all companies nationwide will have same charging system, per bin.

Yes but they have said no bins will be collected if you don't have your account in credit

It is a nightmare. They only sent me the card on Friday. I had no time to top up. I rang them & they told me to use a bin tag this monday. Fine except no shops have any left. I then tried to top up online but there is no option on my account to do that.

ongarboy

I set up direct debit after I got a notice on my last paper tag bin drop that paper tags would be no longer accepted. They then deducted 9 euro straight off my account even though I hadnt put a black bin out since registering for the e-tag system. When I rang, they said it was a timing issue and that they'd credit my account with the same amount.....

beer enigma

Do they charge the €110 annual fee to the card they have on file ? there are four of us renting a house in Tyrellstown & whilst I don't mind putting my card up for the bins lifts, I don't want to get caught for the annual fee as that comes under the landlords agreement

I've paid my annual fee to panda, and only use green and brown bins. Should my brown bin be collected as normal till July comes?

Apparently the annual bin charge I paid panda in January, is only good till July,when they will charge for green bins. Do you think we will get rebates?

So this has changed,and green bins will still be free once service charge is paid. Can anyone verify this? If this is the case why is panda issuing warning that no bins(including green) will be collected?

jeffk

Got a phone call off a Sean on about Panda going around washing the bins, €5.60 a bin.

Sure bleach and hot water after every pickup keeps them clean

What other waste collection providers serve D15? I know not all parts of D15 are covered by the different bin companies but I presume there are options other than Panda in the area. Judging by the prices the other companies will be charging for pay by weight I'm expecting Panda to be expensive so it would be nice to have a few options.

Panda said I could use billpay at the post office. They said they would send me a card to use in the post office. A week later nothing in the post from them. Called them again and now they say they have no cards in stock.

Panda new pricing structure from 1 July:

Yearly service charge up from €110 to €118. Again payable yearly or 6monthly.

Now for the good bit:

Black bin: €3.20 for the lift and 27c per kg on top of this charge.
Brown bin: €2.56 for the lift and 16c per kg on top.

Where did you hear this? We haven't received anything from Panda yet. Those prices are outrageous.

Didn't the minister at the time say that 90% of people would pay less or around the same under this new scheme.

No way that can happen with these prices. Anything over 21.7kg in your black bin and you're paying more and that's not taking the brown bin into it.


Just checked my online account and my black bins usually weigh between 15-20kg. so I'll save a euro or so on the black but lose it and some with the brown.

I think they completely underestimated how much the companies would charge. We'd probably save if companies were charging the minimum set out by the government, but we worked out how much we'll be paying using last year's weights and it's significantly more. Sure how could we save money? We currently pay per lift so the bin goes out every 5 weeks or so, and we pay nothing for the brown bin.
