Waiver on bin collection charges

[bestestimate]

Hello , an elderly relative received a bill last week for next 6 months bin collections €180.
Just put me thinking: wasn't there a waiver scheme for older people a few years ago. Is that gone now ?

Refuse and water charges

In some local authority areas, low-income households can avail of a waiver (that is, a reduction or total exemption) on waste and water charges made by private operators and by local authorities. These waivers vary greatly from region to region and, in some areas, they are not available at all. To find out if your local authority operates a waiver scheme, you should contact them directly.
