Hi All,
Have received notification that Thorntons will be increasing their charges by €2.00 per month from January 2024 bringing their annual charge to €275.88 on their Eco band. Their weight allowance is €0.28 per kg over 40 kg per month. They are currently charging €251.88.
Greyhound annual fee would appear to be €234 on their Standard most popular plan and their weight allowance is higher at 42kg but can't see what their charges for overweight are on their website.
That would mean a difference of €41.88 between Thorntons and Greyhound but as Thorntons provide the green bags for the messy brown bin I might well stay with them. Having checked around before those bags can be hard to find in good quality and are expensive.
As Thorntons are quoting the following as part of the increase just wondering if anyone has heard if the other companies will do likewise?
"The Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications has signed the Circular Economy (Waste Recovery Levy) Regulations 2023 and the Waste Management (Landfill Levy) Regulations 2023 into effect.
This legislation introduces a waste levy on all waste material sent for recovery. The objective of the recovery levies is to help Ireland meet its EU 2025 target of 55% recycling of all municipal waste.
These increases will take effect from 1st January 2024.
Any price adjustments have been kept to a minimum and we will continue to provide the most competitive waste management service in the market."
