Too my knowledge the payment for the black bins was not a charge for delivery of black bins but a payment for the black bins as usual the brown and green bins were given to house holders and as such are in their ownership as usual the SDCC have cocked up again.

MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, December 12, 2011
QUESTION NO. 3
QUESTION: Councillor J. Hannon
To ask the Manager to clarify the position in relation to the following:
1. Arising from the sale of the refuse collection service, has ownership of
the black bins passed to Greyhound or does ownership reside with the
individual customer, many of whom made a payment to South Dublin Co Council
for their bin when the service was introduced replacing the bag system?
2. Is there a dispute ongoing over ownership of the black bins, and is the
Council and/or Greyhound party to same?
3. Is he aware that the above issue is mitigating against competition in the
market thus impacting adversely on the general public in South Dublin?
REPLY:
1. It is the Council´s position that at the time of the roll out of
the black wheelie bins in the late 1990's, the charge of £30 (€38.09) was
a one off payment towards the delivery of the bin. The Green and Brown bins
were delivered free of charge. The Council retained ownership of all bins
and when any customer transferred their service to another provided they
requested the Council to come and collect its bins at no charge to the
customer. No new provider was allowed to use a Council bin (now a GRR bin)
and had that new provider provides bins to its customers.
2. Included in the sale of the refuse collection service on 1s April,
2011 were the black, brown and green bins. There is no dispute over the
ownership of the bins. They now belong to Greyhound Recycling and Recovery
Ltd (GRR) In the event of a customer wishing to leave the GRR service they
contact a new provider and request that the old bins be removed by GRR in
the same way as they did with the Council or indeed any other waste provider
from which they wish to transfer
3. The Council issued a joint letter with GRR to all customers setting
out the position and customers are assured that they have exactly same the
right to transfer as they did with the Council service.
