    Panda Recycling

    Any idea if they have a service plan or do they charge by lift and weight?? Rang up Monday morning and asked to be put back on the "Pay by weight" plan and was told they'd have to talk to the area manager as not all customers are going up in price even though I informed her I'd received an...

    Panda Recycling

    Thanks Des Pondent, Just for reference in 22' we put the black bin out once 40Kg the green bin 10 times 40Kg and the brown bin 10 times 310kg I can't give figures for 23' as Panda only have a service charge on the bill now instead of lifts and weights We're just a couple with a visiting cat and...

    Panda Recycling

    For us it was the other way round, the €17.50 plan meant we are paying an extra €20 per year but figured with the extra compost bin it was worth the increase We would only put the black bin out once a year, the green bin once a month, the brown bin maybe once during winter but could do with a...

    Panda Recycling

    Coincidently got an email last night informing me my "Service Plan for 2024" was going up in price by €3 to €20.50 per month from the 1st of April Think it might be time to change back to a pay by weight plan rather than a set charge plan as it's now at least €50 per year more expensive then...

    Company car/van cleaning

    For me the responsibility of cleaning a company vehicle both on the inside and outside lies with the employee, Especially if they have sole use of the work vehicle If not then the company needs to make sure the last person using the vehicle leaves it in a clean condition for the next user With...

    Can I refuse to have my ESB Meter replaced with a Smart Meter?

    Just wondering out loud, if you're on a smart plan and in a bad reception area how do you provide meter readings As in day night and peak readings, is there a button to push on the meter that gives you these readings

    Can I refuse to have my ESB Meter replaced with a Smart Meter?

    A quick Google search seems to indicate that 10 years would be the minimum and typical would be 20 to 30 years But like all electrical things it depends, it could last 1 year or 40

    Can I refuse to have my ESB Meter replaced with a Smart Meter?

    Same here, Installed 2020 and have had no issues with the meter itself Switched on the Smart meter last year with the "Free electricity on Sunday" plan and saved money compared to a standard plan And IIRC even if I hadn't the free electricity and that usage was transferred to the peak rate I...

    Is there a medication dispensing charge?

    Been going to Pure myself since 2020 and can't really fault them at all when it come to service and price What I really like compared to Boots is not the price but that I generally get to deal with the same Pharmacist/person, which is something I can't say about Boots and I feel it also helps...
