No hot ashes or hazardous waste shall be placed in any of the Bins.

The Customer shall ensure that the Bins presented for collection are closed and not overloaded and are presented in accordance with Local Authority byelaws in force from time to time.

The Company will not collect any items which are not contained within the Bins provided. However, the Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to collect loose or excess material placed adjacent to the bin. If such excess material is collected, it will be placed inside the bin and weighed. This additional weight will be charged at the Company’s normal weight charge for that waste type and invoiced to the Customer’s account.

The Customer accepts and acknowledges that the Bins are used at the Customer’s own risk.

The Customer accepts, acknowledges and agrees to keep the Bins in good and substantial repair and condition. If any Bin provided by the Company is lost, damaged or stolen, the Customer shall be liable to pay a replacement fee of €35 per Bin.

The Customer accepts and agrees that the Bins are and shall remain the property of Advanced Waste Recycling Limited.

The Customer authorises representatives of Advanced Waste Recycling Limited to enter the Customer’s premises for inspection of the Bins or recovery of possession. In cases of non-payment or misuse, the Company reserves the right to remove the Bins without prior notice.

Only material, as described on this website, may be placed in the black / grey bin (black / grey bin waste).

Only material, as described on this website, may be placed in the brown bin (brown bin waste).

Only material, as described on this website, may be placed in the green bin (green bin waste).

Collection Service

The collection service will operate from Monday to Saturday on a fortnightly basis in accordance with the collection schedule per area as set out on the Company’s website.

The Customer shall ensure that the Bins are left outside on the footpath before 7:00am on the morning of collection and brought back in as soon as possible after emptying. Bins not left out on time will only be serviced on the next scheduled collection day.

The Company reserves the right to alter the collection schedule and will notify the Customer where reasonably practicable in advance.

Strictly one set of bins is permitted per dwelling. Bins may not, under any circumstances, be shared between dwellings.

Communications by SMS and email (including billing, collections, service updates, reminders, promotions, and payments) will be deemed received on the same day.

The Company retains ownership of all its equipment at all times. If any equipment is lost, stolen or damaged, the Customer must notify the Company immediately and will be liable for replacement or repair costs. Each bin replacement will be charged at €35, and a €15 delivery charge will apply.

By availing of the Service, the Customer agrees not to interfere with, deface, or alter the appearance or functionality of any bin, including attaching lid straps, ties, clamps or similar devices.
