Pay by Use is Saving Money

A new Repak study has revealed the following points

Householders on pay-by-weight / pay-by-use (PBW/PBU) save on average €95 on bin charges but only 28% of people are on such systems

84% of those on pay by PBW/PBU systems claim it has encouraged them to recycle more

73% of people recycle used packaging (versus 88% on PBW/PBU), 47% of people recycle old clothes (62%) and 35% of people recycle electrical goods (45%)

Encouragingly only 1 in 10 people recycle nothing compared with 3 in 10 in 2003

Those surveyed claimed to recycle on average 41% of their waste • 60% of 25+ year olds use a bring/recycling centre at least once a month
