Thousands of people will soon be hit with a fee for their compost waste.
Panda Recycling is to introduce a ‘special charge’, for people who put food and garden waste in the compost bin.
According to the Irish Independent, Panda’s 360 thousand customers across the country will be charged 3 euro 80 per lift from the 8th of May.
The move has been described as ‘a blow to recycling efforts’, and follows a 12 per cent price hike in the company’s general waste collection services last year.
