Reducing waste and doing away with the bin collection
Hi everyone, I live in Wicklow town and we just got the bill for the renewal for our bins. They want €384.00 for the year and despite our having a monthly direct debit for about a hundred years they have also added a Balance Forward of €120.00. I smell a rat and I am seriously considering cutting them out altogether if I can get some advice on how exactly I should set up and dispose of my waste without breaking the bank.
I am visiting all the sites I can find on the usual Reduce, Re-use, Recycle but would love to hear if anyone has some fabulous idea that will help me make around 3/4 trips to the dump a year and also not attract rats and other charming but unwanted visitors in the meantime.
€504.00 is just legalised theft because I have seen the trucks they use for the ordinary collection and the re-cycling collection are the very same and it makes me wonder if there is more spin than win in their RRR campaigns.
