The Dublin City Council Waiver Scheme was amended for the year commencing 1st January 2010.

Only the Standing Charge will be waived when a Waiver is granted, all bin lifts will be charged.

The Standing Charge in 2011 will be:

- € 100 per annum in respect of households with a 240 litre Grey Bin
- € 80 per annum in respect of households with a 140-litre Grey Bin.

All Lift Charges must be paid in 2011.

Households that are granted a Waiver will be billed therefore for all Grey and Brown Wheeled Bin lifts presented at a rate of:

- € 6.00 per 240 litre Grey Bin 
- € 3.60 per 140 litre Grey Bin
- € 2.00 per Brown Bin.

The first bills for 2011 will be issued in April. A Waiver Application form will be sent with your Bill.

Dublin City Council offers waivers for households whose sole income is from social welfare or where the household income falls below the income tax threshold. 

Hardship cases are assessed through an application process on an individual basis.
