    You bet your life and every private bin company is at it, Panda, Oxigen, City Bin, Greyhound.

    Weird how there's like 3 competing bin companies and prices only went up.

    Biggest issue was the costs of disposal went way up. When the council were doing it there was cheap land filling and very much less pressure on sorting and recycling as poorly sorted waste supposedly being recycled was being accepted in China and elsewhere.

    The costs of disposing of waste in Ireland went way, way up as there's been a general move away from just burying it.

    We have done effectively nothing to reduce volumes of plastics and so on or make packaging more recyclable and have continued to produce more and more waste.

    The costs are all down to failed policies by both the government nationally and the EU, neither of which are willing to force producers and retailers to clean up their acts and seem to just place all the burden on consumers who have limited ability to reduce.
