QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor M. Corr

"To ask the Manager to outline in practice how the new bin collection waiver scheme will operate for recipients as there is a lot of confusion amongst members of the public about how this scheme will be rolled out and the practicalities for the service users?"

REPLY:

Each customer approved for a waste collection charges waiver has already been supplied with bin tags to cover the period up to 31st January, 2010 and these tags can continue to be used up to that date as a cross-over period is in place to faciliate customers using either bin lift credit or bin tags. Waiver customers requriing additional bin lifts up to the end of January, 2010 can purchase bin lift credit online, over the phone (available soon) or at retail outlets or purchase bin tags.

After the expiry of this period, i.e. from 1st February, 2010 on, customers will only be able to use the advance credit system and waiver customers will have a set number of bin lift credits per quarter applied to their account. Customers requirring additional lifts will have to purchase bin lift credit online, over the phone or from designated retail outlets.
