Bin Charges

[cllr]

The provision of free bin tags to households who qualify for a waiver was abolished, not the actual waiver.



No vote.

Anything to do with Waste Services is a Managerial decision so councillors don't have a say in the matter.



FF took this decision when they removed it from the powers allocated to locally elected councillors.

and the blame for this lies squarely with the Anti-Bin Tax Brigade led by political opportunists allied to the anti Local Government Brigage in the Department of the Environment.

I dont actually care who done what, the fact is that the problem is now there and the official response will be to increase the amount of litter wardens giving fines, further weakening the the lives of vulnerable people.

Its time official Ireland woke up to reality.

They should move to SDCC, no annual charge just €8 for the black bin tag. Green bin free. Simple, you just recycle more and put the black bin out less.

I have no doubt that if SDCC keep the current system, the tag charge will go up soon enough. But that means you reduce black bin waste. I try to anyway.

In relation to the free tags being withdrawn in Fingal, am I tired now, or can someone explain the difference between the free bin tags being withdrawn, but not the waiver? What is the position now of those who previously got a waiver? tks.

The waiver on the €110 annual charge stays, for now.
However if anyone in the household pays as little as €1 in income tax annually, there is no waiver.

Gives you a nice safe feeling about water charges doesn't it.

I suppose it would be completely beyond the bounds of possibility and reason that people might try to reduce the amount of waste they are producing?

My familty of four, one of whom is in nappies, produces 120l of refuse per fortnight, which equals €4 per week, which is the price of 1 pint, half a packet of fags or 1 go on the Lotto.

Its hardly the fupping Poll Tax.

Question: has the cost of disposing of waste increased in recent times? Or is this simply another way for FF to grab money?

I do not see why waste charges have to be so expensive. Our Island is sparsely populated. There could surely be no shortage of dumping land.

Here is another question: Dumping waste in land fills produces no or little CO2, burning waste in in incinerators must produce much more CO2. If we want to get out of paying some carbon tax why not just dump waste in landfills? This is especially a good idea since land values have collapsed.

I wonder if the black market could help the financially less well off here. They could take peoples waste and dump it illegally in exchange for a fee that is less than the governments.

The problem arises if you are on low income and you don't have the €8 on bin day, you are then in the position of having a full bin and nowhere to put next weeks waste.
This might only affect a few hundred households in any given week but it is additive because you cannot put out an over full bin.

Now what will happen to that waste??

Looks like Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown County Council are now going to employ Debt Collection agencies to chase those who aren't paying up. Will the Viper apply I wonder?

Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified service providers to manage the process of the collection of certain outstanding monies owning to the Council.

Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council provides a Waste Collection Service to both Residential & Commercial Customers within the County with our current Customer base numbering approximately 25,000 Residential/Commercial Customers . While the majority of our Customers pay their accounts within the specified time periods a minority do not. The focus of this tendering exercise is on those accounts that are not paid within the specified time limits

This seems a bit extreme to me. Have all other available options been explored?

Sure they didn`t even bother chasing the developers for levies

It is time to arm the public to keep these muppets away

As far as the globalist mafia behind the asset grab of public services and infrastructure are concerned, they are the only option. The privatisation of the state is a big part of this tyrannical agenda.
