Pay charges or keep your rubbish, warns council

HOUSEHOLDERS who do not pay their refuse charges will not have their rubbish collected — that’s the blunt message from Cork City manager Joe Gavin.

Pay charges or keep your rubbish, warns council

Mr Gavin was reacting to anti-bin tax group, Householders Against Service Charges (HASG), which has told refuse charge defaulters not to be afraid of going to jail. HASG will hold a series of public meetings around the city to analyse the strength of opposition to what they claim is a double taxation.

But Mr Gavin said the majority of people have paid their service charges, with only 2,000 of 40,000 householders not paid up.
