or
2. If a householder satisfies the Council that they have a grey/black bin and green bin collection service provided by a permitted waste collector.
| Waiver Scheme 2009 |
Since 2005 a Waiver Scheme has been in place for householders in the region who qualify on income grounds. The standing charge of €80 will be waived and customers with waivers will have to pay the lift charges and the weight charges.
An additional waiver of €120 will apply where a household in receipt of an €80 waiver (total waiver for the year €200) comprises of:
- A couple and 4 or more dependent children only
- A single parent and 3 or more dependent children only.
In the case of applicants who live in multi-occupancy premises, the charge has to be paid by the Management Company/Owner but the occupier will apply directly to the Council for the waiver (and refund).
