Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown County Council are pulling out of the grey/green bin collections as and from July.
At a briefing of Elected Members today Mr Frank Austin, the Council’s Director of Water and Waste Services, advised Councillors that Council management will cease to provide a household waste service from July 2010. The ‘grey’ bin service is provided by direct labour and the ‘green’ bin service by contract. ......................................
The Council has invited tenders with a view to appointing a contractor who will offer a ‘grey’ and a ‘green’ bin service together with a new ‘brown’ bin service to all existing Council customers at a competitive price. The contractor will also be required to honour the Council’s existing Waiver Scheme. The Council is advising its customers that they do not need to make any alternative arrangements for a waste service and to continue to leave out their bins as per usual.
