My constituency office has spoken to City Bins and the following is the bin collection plan for Dublin North West.
If your bin was General Waste (Black Bin) last week, the bin will be collected this Saturday the 10th of March.
If your bin was Green and Brown last week they will be collected next week and they will take any excess recycling materials.
If your bin is the Black bin tomorrow it will be collected as normal.
If you have any other queries you can email them at home@citybin.com or call them at 1800 248924
We have also spoken to Greyhound and they said that if the Recycling bin is due this week it will be taken next week with two extra-large recycling bags, NOT black bags.
The Black bin and compost bin will be taken as normal on the Collection date.  Their contact number is 1890 989 998
