Waste fee unchanged by council’s €2m grant

COUNTY Waterford householders will continue to have to shell out a flat fee of €150 per annum for their waste collection service, though the council has received a €2 million plus grant to help meet the cost of dealing with landfills in the region.

And there is no threat to the council-provided service, despite the number of people opting for private waste collection providers in an effort to reduce their refuse costs, Waterford County Council says.

Despite earlier threats to the publicly-provided waste service, it will continue, according to senior engineer in environment with Waterford County Council, Paul Daly.
