Thousands of households in Dublin and across the country will be hit with extra bin charges from tomorrow amid the cost of living crisis.
Panda Recycling is set to start charging €3.80 for each compost bin lift, the Irish Mirror reports. The new charge come less than a year since Panda Recycling increased its general waste bin-lift charges by more than 12% and also hiked its service charges.
The charge for each lift of a general waste bin has seen a fairly big increase, as it's gone up by €1.13 to €10.25 since September 2022 which is a rise of 12.4%. It means that households who wish to have their bins collected every fortnight are now paying €50 more per year for waste-collection services.
