Wheelie Bins
In 2001, Galway City Council became the first local authority in Ireland to introduce a kerbside 3-bin segregated waste collection service.
Customers are given three bins:
A brown bin For food and garden waste
A green bin For recyclable waste
A grey bin For landfill waste
Proper segregation of waste reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill, good news for Galway’s environment.
Refuse charges are calculated on a pay-by-weight basis – waste less, pay less.
The charges for 2011 are as follows:
Fixed charge of €159 (for set of three bins)
Brown bin 5c per kilogram
Green bin 8c per kilogram
Grey bin 19c per kilogram
