Bin company pricing

[smndly]

I’m moving house and looking at organising the bins and can’t seem to understand the pricing for the Panda and Greyhound the two main companies in my area.

Panda pricing options for black bin:
Essential: €20.50 per month for limit of 32kg.
Standard: €23.50 per month for 42kg
Plus: €27.50 for 65 kg limit
All have waste excess per kg of 28cent.

Is the essential not cheapest here regardless of weight? If you have 42kg on the essential plan that’s 10x0.2=2euro more so 22.50. If you have 65kg on the essential plan that is 6.6euro so total of €27.10.

Greyhound have the same situation:
Standard €20 limit is 32kg
Family €23.95 limit is 42kg
Family Plus €29 limit is 65kg
Excess cost per kg is 30cent.
Again the cheapest plan here is the best regardless of weight.

Whats the point of the premium plans if they never have any value other than to rip off the person who thinks they’re getting a deal?

Unless I’m reading this wrong and the excess weight price is 28 or 30cent on the entire weight of the black bin and not the difference between the actual weight and your allowance?

It's a cartel type environment. In one instance recently one provider is selling its customer base to the direct competition. And another they just swop customers from
One area ...

We are pawns in this game ..

But besides the above - they all offer a very professional service and we have such a limited amount of black bin waste nowadays. - thanks to the 3 bin service
