Waste Service Providers outlining their Pay by Weight Charges

With the introduction of Pay by Weight charges in three weeks time, Waste Service Providers have begun to outline the charge that they will levy when Pay by Weight comes into effect on July 1st. The charging mechanisms vary with some companies not currently being in a position to provide their charges. Hopefully by the month’s end all Providers will have a schedule of their tariffs available. The charge will consist of a yearly service charge, a potential lift charge per bin, and a cost per kilogram for the various waste types, that is recyclables, biowaste (food waste) and residual (landfill waste). One of the first companies to disclose their charging regime was Thorntons whose charges consist of a 2€/week service charge, a 35c/kilo and 20c/kilo charge for landfill waste and food waste respectively, and no charge per kilo for recyclables.

This is an excellent start to the introduction of Pay by Weigh charges , with landfill waste being penalised by a factor of 75{b050ebef00e2b6e935b95b021e9f55f4ab20ffeed47f29e2aa25a2081fec5bc8} above food waste, thus encouraging customers to segregate their food waste. And  as recyclables have zero charge per kilo, it now most certainly pays to segregate and recycle your waste. Furthermore by using Brustibin, not only will you save on your waste  charges but you will do so effortlessly and without a hassle!
