Householder bills are issued quarterly and charges are broken down accordingly.

Breakdown of Bin Charges

The standing charge is a mandatory annual charge that all householders are required to pay.

The charge per collection is only charged when your bin is collected and emptied.

Household waste bin tags increased in price in 2008 and now cost €2.90. There has been no change in the cost of tags for 2009. Bin Tags can be purchased directly from the City Council at the Civic Offices in Wood Quay, Post Offices throughout Dublin and in many retail shops in the City displaying the Postpoint symbol.

The table below gives the annual bin charge cost for various scenarios relating to how many bags and how often a household may present waste for collection throughout the year.  

Waste Charges that were implemented in 2008 for Eurobins at apartments are outlined below.
