well done Dublin city and south Dublin county councils on selling an asset to a bunch of wasters

How can the opposition Parties blame FG and Labour for this problem? I thought Local Authorities were independent Republics?

Are the management of Dublin City Council not the governments responsibility? How about not passing the buck for a change?

The place will be smelling like Naples!
Greyhound are using bully boy tactics and besides this they are not even an Irish company.
Dublin City Council should have insisted that the same terms remain in place when Greyhound took over and before held the people to a ransom.

Right so, it’s €100, of which a €50 has to be paid upfront. When Dublin City Council collected the rubbish you still had to pay the €100, only in arrears. Many people never paid because Dublin City Council staff were less than aggressive in collecting what was owed.

Second, rubbish collection was losing Dublin City Council €22 Million per year, now it’s costing only 4.2 Million, this amount covers those who have waiver.

Third, every other council in Ireland is out of the rubbish collecting business, Dublin was the last to drop this service.

Lastly, you don’t have to use Greyhound to collect your trash, and if you don’t have it sorted you’ll be liable and exposing yourself to fines and the courts… as well you should.

Those 18,000 or so people need to pull a finger out and either pay Greyhound or get another company to sort their bins. Can’t afford it? Apply for a waiver… Dublin City Council will pay Greyhound Recycling €87,500 a week this year to fund bin collection from customers covered under the waiver scheme. You qualify for a waiver if your household’s total earnings are tax exempt and are less than €600 a week.

But sure if your not paying for your waste collection and still throwing bags on the street is that not dumping? A finable, and possibly jailable offence if ya dont pay the fine.

suck it up, Everyone pays for waste collection the country over. Pay it or keep your rubbish in your kitchen where other paying citizens dont have to fall over it n smell it.

Surely the people to blame are those who have refused to pay the fee?

To much expected from people in too short a time! I smell anarchy in the air! The country’s in trouble!

Let it stack up, then join forces with the culchies who don’t want to pay their septic tank charge and have the biggest dirty protest ever, or alternatively grow up and pay the bill…

Dublin city council has paid greyhound a sum believed to be €1,000,000 to collect the rubbish from all the social housing flats under Dublin city councils ownership as the rubbish is all in communal bins

Those 18000 people can vote with their ability to pick up a phone and call another wast collection service instead of going on and on about not been contacted by the service picked for them by the government. Just go’s to show what a bunch of spineless sheep they are.
