Waste collection in Cork

Hopefully you are in your own house by now. You might have noticed the outrageous number of wheelie bins. Actually, there is one bin in front of every apartment. Every resident has to register with a refuse collection company, and a recycling deal. The usual suspects are:

• Cork City Council
• Greenstar
• Country Clean

There was a bin assigned to the house I rented, with a Cork City Council sticker on it. What I didn't know is that I also need to put a tag on the handle each time I want the waste to be collected. 

The collections are bi-weekly, usually one week domestic waste and the next week recycling.
