Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 April 2016
457. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the way in which the pay-by-weight bin charges will work for multi-unit complexes, such as apartment blocks that share bins; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8520/16]
View answerThe Waste Management (Collection Permit) Regulations 2007, as amended, require a waste collector to weigh household waste and charge on a per kilogramme pay-by-weight basis. A service fee may also be charged.
In the case of multi-unit complexes, such as apartment blocks that share bins, such fees will be charged to the management company or person who arranges for the collection of the waste on behalf of the residents of multi-unit complexes, such as apartment blocks.
