Refuse collectors Greyhound and Thorntons are to increase their annual service charges.
Greyhound is to increase its annual charge from €59.95 to €169 and the Thornton annual charge will jump from €50 to €104.
How can they do this? Imagine the outcry across the meida and the political classes if workers asked for a similar-style increase?
Other refuse collectors will also be increasing their charges.
This cannot be allowed to happen.
There is a simple solution. Stop using the service. There is a number of Bring-Bank depots in all council areas, which take most domestic waste. They also have bottle banks.
Set up a compost heap in your garden and make sure to waste no food. And if you have any cooked food left over give it to your cat or dog or offer it to your neighbour for their pet.
It really can be done. Try it.

If you ever want to sell your house, then one of the things you will need to provide to the lawyers is a history of refuse receipts.
If you're female, there's also the question of what to do with the by-products of feminine products.
I accept what you say but find it difficult to understand. I get rid of all my waste in a legal fashion so why should I have to use a refuse service. Sounds odd to me. Indeed, I am doing everything in a most environmentally-friendly fashion.
