I'd get rid of the bins. Keep all recyclables inside and have a small plastic (sealed) container for immediate perishing food outside. Either empty the perishable good every one or two days in public bins or just cut down altogether. You'd be surprised how efficiant you can get f you have to be. Do a run for the recyclables once a week.
Under the initiative, which is to begin this month, householders will be asked to prove they are disposing of their waste in an authorised manner either by using a waste collection firm or taking their waste to a regulated facility. Those who cannot will face legal action.
Replace 'public bins' above with 'skips, work bin, public facility'.
transport your waste to these sites and pay €4 per standard 80l bag of household waste and €2 per bag of green/compostible waste. You would need to retain receipts in the event of being asked to prove you are compliant with the waste disposal laws.
Looking at the web page for the Civic Amenity sites it says that a car load will be charged €15. Just a few questions. If I drop down the back seats of my car and effectively turn it in to a mini van am I still charged €15 or is it only for a standard boot full?
I see that one bag is charged €4 per 80l bag. If I bring this one bag in the car am I charged €15 or €4?
Is it better to make two trips in the car. One full up with paper and glass and cardboard because I can dispose of these free and a separate trip with the remaining one bag of non green/non recyclable and just pay €4 for that one bag. Because if I fill the car boot with a mix of stuff I will be charged €15?
Any other tips on maximising the use of my trip to the Civic Amenity sites appreciated.

I cannot believe you are suggesting this. It has got to be illegal, is plainly wrong, and not a good idea as it would be a logistical nightmare.
All that packaging is recyclable and should be. Even a meat package can be cleaned under the tap and recycled. As I said, if you play it smart you can reduce waste down to absolute very little.we wouldn't have so much of it if every single thing wasn't wrapped it totally unnecessary packaging. Anyway, a rant for another time!!
Ill look into bringing the recycling somewhere...
