Sligo Councillor says now is not the time for waste collection price hikes

A Sligo Councillor is calling on waste collection companies not increase prices for its services locally. People Before Profit Councillor, Gino O’Boyle, made the calls in response to Panda Recycling announcing that they are increasing their prices in North Dublin.  The bin company is raising the cost of its half yearly service charge, its waste per lift charge and its recycle per lift charge.  It’s feared that the price hike could extend nationwide.  Cllr O' Boyle says the company has already increased prices locally before Christmas.
