      This is a great idea. Dublin city centre is overrun with waste trucks, all doing the same route over and over again all night.

      Watch Dublin City Council make a monumental mess of implementing it…

      “Under Sherlock’s proposals, this system would be replaced with one where the private companies compete to become the provider for the entire city.

      Speaking on the plinth at Leinster House this morning, the Dublin Central TD said we must move from a system of “competition in the market” for waste collection to one of “competition for the market”.

      “There should be a single provider covering waste, taking responsibility for waste across the whole of the city and indeed in other parts of the country. Because the reality is, there is no one person in charge of waste in Dublin, and that is wrong,” Sherlock said.”

      Can or should the current system be unwound for local monopolies. The legislation would have to be very careful and full of minimum standards and price control with a fixed contract for no more than say three years, even that’s probably too short for companies to take seriously. Being stuck with an unreliable expensive bin collection service is nearly as bad as not having one.

      Dublin City Council should lease the lorries and then allow operators to use them to do the collection.

      Then they can be changed over very easily should they not perform well.

      To be fair it’s not a bad idea.

      I’d just be hesitant because let’s face it, there are a lot of existing schemes by the government / civil service that are not the best lol

      TBH , make it so the the council is incharge of the bins again , privatizing it was a very bad action

      It’s a fucking joke that my cul de sac has 3 different bin companies that come on different days. Such a waste of man power and emissions.

      It’s criminal that we outsourced waste collection to private companies instead of keeping it government run and paid by taxes.

      It’s part of the reason our rubbish issue is so bad!

      How would it work in practice? Splitting areas up into mini monopolies will result in higher prices. Alternatively larger monopolies will result in the current players becoming entrenched and reduction in competition and higher prices.

      I don’t normally support Labour, but that’s a sensible idea and doesn’t play on the lazy answer of “the council should do it”. The council rubbish collection was a poor service, run for the benefit of everyone except the householders.

      What happens to the companies that don’t win that contract? Will they have to increase fees in the rest of the country?

      by all accounts, the local Camorra lads in Naples have the waste-disposal issue running *real smooth* there, like… Apparently almost nobody *ever* complains (out loud, for long). Perhaps the beguiling Deputy Sherlock could cast those faraway eyes over the Neapolitan template and maybe see a way of creating harmony and coherence in place of Dublin’s current chaotic shake-down, where the profit-driven free-for-all is totally stacked against the customer
