Collecting business as well as litter
By Mary Ellen Breen
WAR between rival waste collectors in the city has long been waging, and in a blow to their competitors Mr Binman has come up with a new ploy to attract business.
In a bid to come out on top in the rubbish war Mr Binman will collect recyclable rubbish free of charge, for both customers and non-customers.
According to Joe Cleary of Mr Binman, this is a win-win situation for the people of Waterford.
“It’s very simple; Waterford people are being charged by the Local Authorities to recycle by having to buy bin-tags or recycling bags. The cost of recycling in some areas is limiting households and that is why Mr. Binman has launched the ‘Free for all’ recycling strategy.”
Last week it was announced that Local Authority charges, such as bin collections, commercial water provisions and car parks, may be subject to an increase of up to 21% from July, due to changes in VAT legislation. In contrast Mr. Binman says it is going to drastically increase Waterford’s recycling levels by encouraging people to recycle for free.
Mr Cleary said, “Mr. Binman is cheaper than the Council services anyway but if a householder wants to just get their recycling collected by us, free of charge, then they will save up to €120 a year.”
He added, “All households in the city and county can now avail of free recycling collections, even though they are not currently customers of Mr. Binman. By simply getting a special sticker and recycling bags from Mr Binman, your recycling is collected free of charge as part of Mr Binman’s collection run. It’s as straight forward as that.
“Householders can collect free stickers and recycling bags from Mr Binman’s stall at City Square, Waterford, by logging onto www.mrbinman.com or by calling the office on 051 643144.”
