Update:

We've been sorting our own waste now for a few months and reckon this is the best way to go for now.

Glass: to the recycling depot at the Murrough
Cardboard/Paper: same again
Everything else: in black bags to Ballyogan about every 2-2 and a half months @ €20.00 for a car/van
Kitchen waste: today I picked up 3 compost bins and will be figuring out how to work that all out and keep the flies at bay

Our waste cost has been reduced from €500.00+- to around €120.00/yr excl petrol

I'll be asking for help to start these bins off any day now :o)
