Council to introduce refuse and dry recyclables price hike

The price increases for refuse and dry recyclables were heralded by the council this week, two months ahead of the December budget when such increases are typically announced.

Under the new regime announced by council manager, Ray O’Dwyer, the cost per lift for the organic, brown bin is dipping by 50 cent to e7. But from next year, the cost per bin lift goes from e13 to e14 and the fee per bag for dry recyclables goes up 25c to e2.50.
