Dublin City Council will officially transfer its waste collection service to Greyhound Recycling on Monday, 16th January 2012. Greyhound Recycling and Recovery will collect your household waste from this date. Pricing for lifts remain the same for Residential Bin Customers. You will be notified of your collection day directly by Greyhound Recycling.
Those who were entitled to a waiver of the Standing Charge in 2011, will not be required to pay the Annual Charge for 2012.
Black and Brown Bins are presented for collection together, while Green Bins are presented on the same day the following week; bins should be presented for collection before 7am. Bin collections will rotate like this on a fortnightly basis.
Lift price, per bin:
Black 240 litre – €6
Black 140 litre – €3.60
Brown 140 litre – €2
The Annual Service Charge will be maintained for 2012 and this Charge must be paid, in full, within 30 days from Monday 16th January. Once you have paid your Annual Charge, you will receive a barcode sticker. Simply place this sticker on your Green Bin and it will be collected free of charge.
Annual Charge:
Black 240 litre – €100
Black 140 Litre- € 80
Please note that Greyhound operates a prepay system. You are required to make sure that your Greyhound account has sufficient funds for each Black and Brown bin lift. If you do not have sufficient credit in your account for the cost of a Black or Brown bin, your bin will not be collected.
So, in effect, you should now make arrangements so that by no later than the 15th of February your new Greyhound account has enough money in it to cover the annual charge plus credit to cover expected lifts, which you can then top-up as required in advance.
How to Pay:
Greyhound will send you your customer Payment Card. This card includes your customer account number which you will require when making payments.
You can pay the Annual Service Charge and/or top up your account in the following ways:
- Online at www.greyhound.ie
- At local shops using Payzone or PostPoint outlets.
- At any Post Office.
Some residents have been in touch about the possibility of rescheduling lift days so that Green and Black Bins may be presented for collection on the same day. We have also received feedback regarding some confusion over the issue of payment. I am in communication with Dublin City Council on these issues and will be posting any developments on this website. Please do get in touch with my office if you have any further questions.
