Bin it!

I switched to Clean Ireland a couple of months ago and their service has been pretty good. but they’ve just gone and got complicated..

I received 2 more bins this week – so that makes 4 in total. The 2 new brown ones, a recycling and general waste one.

The brown bins are interesting.. a little tiny one stays in the house and is lined with a brown paper bag  for organic. When the brown bag is full – you transfer the bag in to the bigger brown bin and put it out with the regular waste bin.

According to Clean Ireland

That up to 40% of what’s in your waste bin (by weight) is actually organic waste?

With a separate collection, it has been proven that householders actually reduce the amount of food waste created, helping to save on waste disposal and SAVE on shopping bills.

• Food waste collected separately is not subject to landfill tax, so you will save money.
• Food waste can be composted into a very useful fertiliser for soil conditioning and land reclamation.
• Food waste can also be processed into a bio-gas – this can be used to generate electricity. See our video below.

Using Clean Ireland Recycling’s brown bin service reduces your Carbon Footprint and saves you money.

ohh I forgot about the box for glass recycling.. so that’s five.. I just need one more for grass and garden waste and then I’ll have 6…
