Final warning in bins dispute

Thousands of households have been put on a final warning for refuse collection after failing to register their bins.

Greyhound Recycling and Recovery did not follow through on an earlier threat to leave black bins unemptied, opting instead to give customers one last chance.

The reprieve for some of the 18,000 customers threatened this week with non-collection came after Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore called for a flexible, common sense approach to a dispute over advance payments.
