Waste Collection Charges Frozen For 12 Months

Waste collection charges are to be frozen for the next 12 months, the Irish Waste Management Association (IWMA) has announced.

The IWMA, a trade group made up of waste management contractors from across Ireland, said that over the next 12 months householders will be provided with statistics showing how much waste they are disposing of, the current costs and the equivalent pay-by-weight charges.

IWMA Secretary Conor Walsh said that they had taken the decision to give people "more time to adjust to a pay-by-weight system."
