There's a lot of talk about the various charges Greyhound and other companies are charging for the collection of black bins, but I always wonder what are people putting in black bins that they cannot put into the green or brown bin or bring to a recycling centre? We havnt had the need to put a black bin out in nearly two years yet I see households putting a black bin out every second week on my road.
Do you still have an annual standing charge for the unused black bin?
Pure and utter laziness in the case of the people I know. The way to clear out a drawer is to get everything by a bundle and drop into a bin. I don't know how many times I have gone to put a bit of rubbish in the bin only to find shoes, clothes, make-up, clocks all shoved into it. But, of course, it's just that the poor dears don't have the time.There's a lot of talk about the various charges Greyhound and other companies are charging for the collection of black bins, but I always wonder what are people putting in black bins that they cannot put into the green or brown bin or bring to a recycling centre?

Drop it in to whose bin? Do you use a communal bin or something?Pure and utter laziness in the case of the people I know.

I just got home to find a letter from Greyhound telling me that the lift charges are increasing from €6 to €7 per lift from July 1st.
I'm really annoyed by it, not because of the increase per se as I was half expecting it as it was mentioned at the time of the switch over (although not quite so steep) but because I got 5 days notice of the change!! I thought when I hadn't heard anything they were laying low after all the chaos the switch over caused and maybe they were deferring the increase until the new year to let things settle down.
I would have liked time to check out my options, find out how I get the credit on my account refunded, if I have to pay the second €50 instalment of the standing charge etc if I chose to switch but they haven't left me any time to do so. Can I complain to any Ombudsman or anything as the letter is dated 1st of June but I only got it today. Are they obliged to give you a set amount of notice so you can shop around like the insurance companies are?
Yes, we tried to get this waived but we make full use of the green and brown bins and we were told that we had to pay the annual charge no matter what.
