Representatives from AES Waste Management visited the estate and attended our recent AGM.  They have a new range of pricing structures that may prove attractive to residents.

Two options are available. One is on a monthly fee basis where recycling and refuse are collected every two weeks for €16.50 until up to next year. This includes a glass bin collection service every 12 weeks.

The second option is a pay by lift service, which is the most common option in the estate at the moment with existing waste management companies. They are charging €6.99 for general waste bin collection (up to to 65kg and 18c/kg in excess of 65kg) and €1.99 for a recycling bin.  The duration of this limited period option is not known yet but does represent the lowest cost option when compared to Wallace and Allied Waste at the moment.

Collection day

AES will collect bins on Fridays in Ashefield.

Saying goodbye to bin tags

AES are also offering a pay as you go service if you set up an account with them. This means that the cost of each bin lift can be deducted from your account. You can top this up online, over the phone, or at an outlet, and you’ll receive a text when your balance is low.

Local employment

Some employees of AES live in Ashefield and when AES were asked at the AGM, they stated that they do employ a large number of people from the Mullingar area.

Opportunities for the estate

At the AGM,  AES mentioned that depending on the amount of signed-up customers in Ashefield, skips and cleaning equipment for the estate may be made available on a yearly business for estate spring-cleans  and other clear-outs with free skip collection when full.

So there you are – another option worth considering for bin collection.  If you have any questions, the best option is to call them at 1850 650 655

Latest Offer Update (Jan ’10): Allied Waste Management is offering two tags for the price of one. These are available at all the usual tag outlets.

2 waste tags for €7.50
2 recycling tags for €4

Expired Offers (Dec ’09):

Allied Waste Management is offering four bin tags for €20 as part of their Christmas gift pack promotion.

Given the 10% saving claims, it appears that this offer is for two green bin (refuse) and two blue bin (recycling) tags for €20. It’s not clear on their website but this will be confirmed soon.

The cost of buying two green and two blue tags together from Wallace Recycling is €22.  Allied Waste’s €20 promotion beats this by €2; enough for a Santa candle on the mantelpiece perhaps.
