    Jesus we’ll have to pay for our own food next…

    Moaners hit the road please you’ve had the stage for too long. You and I know that middle to high earners will continue to pick to the majority of the tab, stop pretending you are hard done by.

      No seriously, I like a guy who keeps abreast of current events. It shows you have class and education.

        The lower the water charge the higher the need for funds from general taxation pool, which is largely contributed to by middle and high earners.

          progressive taxing! hurray!

          are you some sort of regressive neanderthal? NO I THOUGHT NOT! Bully for you champ!

    We pay for the brown down in Dublin. Think its around 4.50 a drop.
    Luckily I dump everything in the green bin.

    Yeah, have been paying for the brown bin for years in Dublin.

    Remember when we had a reliable cheap service from DCC? Those were the days.

      We don’t have them, where I come from. Are you supposed to crap in them, when the water system collapses due to the belligerent minority?

    Is the brown bin contents, like the green bin contents not an asset? Do they make money from composting.

    1. Cian

      Its nowhere near as valuable as the green bin contents can be – the composting takes time and possibly heat depending on how they do it.

      I’ve paid by weight for years (in bands, always been in the lowest band) with the compost bins weight being calculated at a % of its weight and the black bin at its full weight, so they’re at least acknowledging that its cheaper than landfill costs.

    Indeed – there is always the argument that we should be paid for collecting and presenting our waste to companies so that they can then make money from it.

    There are options with organic waste (compost, competitors in collection etc). Also, its a capital cost in water vs. an operational cost in waste. Lump sum v monthly stipend. The latter being more achievable and less noticeable.
