Pay by weight bin charging

pegasus1

Anyone have any idea what Dohenys are doing with regard to pricing options for the new pay by weight charges?

They are all doing it now, no choice. I expect an astronomical increase in fly tipping and back yard burning from now on. Thanks Alan Kelly, you thick cnut.

Pay by weight must be implemented by Ireland as part if the polluter pays principal. The standing charges that the regional waste companies seen to be introducing are not directly related to pay by weight but needed.

Pay by weight is needed to increase the cost burden on high waste producers with the aim if reducing waste to landfill. The not in my back yard brigade means that getting a licence to open a new landfill is extremely difficult. Can't keep chucking this stuff away, no place to it it, and expect to pay best to nothing for the waste services.

This is just an opinion on pay by weight and not waste companies and their charges.

And yet at the same time we are all told to be good little consumers, ''keep the recovery going'' blah blah. This measure is not about the environment at all, it is about money grabbing. If anything it will ensure that the environment in this country will be damaged as fly tipping and back yard burning will increase exponentially. They are charging by weight for recycling too, they really couldn't give a sh1t about the environment.

The recovery (from recession) is nothing to do with pay by weight. The increase in charges has been implemented by private companies. These companies are capitalists and are looking to maintain their bottom line. Pay by weighg is designed to reduce volume of waste to landfill so the companies are increasing standing charges on the back of expected reduction if waste volume that they cab charge for.

It would suit any government to maintain the status qou, not rock the boat, and to keep dumping this stuff in a hole in the ground. But they have to implement a pay by weight system f in surface with the EU.

No incentive whatsoever to recycle means that a lot of recyclable material will be fly tipped. The biggest reduction in waste in bins will be because people will dump it elsewhere. It will end up in landfill one way or the other. Some will have no choice as their backs are to the wall already and they simply cant afford the extortionate bin rates. If the government were serious about protecting the environment and reducing waste volume (they are not btw) they would be sorting out proper recycling infrastructure in this country and incentivising people to recycle. Atm nothing exists, we are being charged to recycle, and everything is shipped off, shameful.

The standing charge is being massively increased because of profit and profit only...Sure if they collect less rubbish they will pay less at the dump.

Exactly, private companies trying to seek more profit on the back of what is a waste reduction policy. Government conspiracy it is not.
