IWMA’s Walsh: ‘Companies will lose a lot of money’ on agreed waste price freeze

Latest: A representative group for waste management companies has said they have agreed to freeze bin charges.

Update 11.35am: Waste companies have agreed a 12-month price freeze on waste charges after negotiations with Environment Minister Simon Coveney, writes Elaine Loughlin, Irish Examiner Political Reporter.

However, the Government could still face the threat of a legal challenge as a number of the major bin companies are not members of the association which has agreed the freeze.
