Whatever about the bin charges, the new regime that have for bin collections in Cork is the stupidest thing I ever heard of -- there's an enormous pile of rubbish at the end of my street, and this regime is just making it bigger. Whoever came up with this to replace pay-by-weight deserves to be taken outside and beaten to within an inch of his or her life.
With the rubbish.

BTW thecorner, where did you hear this? I'm just around the corner from City Hall, but I'm damned if I'm walking over if there's not still something happening.

If it really was just a few mm, that's a binman with a ridiculour power complex; but if it was an exaggeration the binmen are perfectly right to leave it there, since the lifter won't empty it properly, and it could bork the machine completely.funniest story ive heard is about a bin not being emptied because it was open by a few mm
They've taken to sticking "illegal dumping" stickers on the rubbish down here now, I'd love to know how they're going to enforce that. Couple guards staking out the bins perhaps?
Why they can't just give up this idiocy and add it into general taxation I don't know. It's just going to keep going until they do it anyway.

Bin Payment dodgers will come up with any excuse not to pay their way.
In Dublin i've seen them complain about bin charges saying not enough recycling done & now they being charged per use they just coming up excuses.
Why should smaller households subsidise larger households with common charge? Irish people won't recyle unless given financial encentive.
they are been followed down here to make sure they dont take them by members of the city hall
Ironic that a SF man is complaining about rubbish charges while the IRA is involved in ilegal dumping. Thats some cheek.
Being charged per use is the totally correct way to go.
Which is why pay-by-weight is the sensible option, however we all know it's not going to work -- enforcement is next to impossible. And you could give that argument on a ton of issues anyway pete. Why should I subsidise $politicalParty's Oireachtas mail when I don't support $politicalParty, for example. Why should someone that drives a 4L car pay the same tax as someone with a 10L car? I haven't had any dealings with the Gardaí in a few years now, can I have a portion of my tax removed please?
On the topic above, and in a slightly different vein, in Cork why should smaller household be penalised with 2-3 weeks worth of rubbish smelling up their houses because of the idiotic system implemented by the morons in City Hall? Can we have said morons pay higher taxes, since they're forking it up for everyone else?

Firstly as dublin city council don't generally collect from apartments (won't come inside gates) & since private collector not charging per weigh i;vre zero incentive currently.
You voted for the councillors so if don't like what they doing don't vote for them. Besides anyone living in a house with any bit of a garden should be able to compast all their vegetable waste which just leaves animal waste.
That's why the Pay-Per-Weight scheme is great in West Cork.
The majority of waste can be recycled now.
Having a dog helps too.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
Its ridiculous and only leading to illegal dumping of waste all over the place.
But yet another display of masterful planning by those morons.
Mate of mine lives next to a rented house and there is a huge pile of rubbish thrown down the side of the house.
The rats in the city must be having a field day.

The last link in complete recycling solutionHaving a dog helps too.
It's the start of a new one though because you have to scoop up the dog mess and put that in a bin, which has to be collected.The last link in complete recycling solution

It's apartments here too, but not gated. City centre, so the binmen won't come down the street, so everything has to be left at the top of the street. "Everything" is really starting to mount up now.
Throw that line at other people pete, not me. It might be good advice for some people around here, but when you say it to me it just sounds patronising.You voted for the councillors so if don't like what they doing don't vote for them.
I don't have a garden. My mother does, but I can't see her starting to compost at 60-odd -- she'll see it as a rotting pile in her garden, rather than a compost heap. And she's not a gardener anyway.Besides anyone living in a house with any bit of a garden should be able to compast all their vegetable waste which just leaves animal waste.
Plus saying all that's left will be animal waste is a real stretch, except for complete organic nazis. The council has strict rules on what they will and won't take for recycling. Plastic wrappings, greasy paper, etc, all have to go in the trash.

Here we are, nice photo. Looks pretty next to the grotto, doesn't it?

What's a "mature politician"? Over 60 like?
and one bin in the middle of it for show.
At least the cover is down fully on it.
You mean ring Neil Prenderville, surely.
