When can bins be collected in Dublin?

Ok so we get a lot of questions about bin collection times, especially during rush hour. While bin companies tend to avoid these times as it just makes their jobs more difficult they are allowed to collect at this time in certain areas of the city.

Dublin City Council Bye-laws for the storage, presentation and collection of household waste 2013 Section 7 C 

An authorised waste collector shall only collect household waste or commercial waste outside the Central Commercial District on the  designated collection day between the hours of 6:00 am and 9:00pm Monday to Friday, and 8.00am to 8.00pm on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays, unless otherwise approved in writing by an appointed person.

and section 7 d

An authorised waste collector shall only collect household waste or commercial waste within the Central Commercial District on the designated collection day between the hours of 7.00pm to 12.00
midnight, unless otherwise approved in writing by an appointed person


In case you're wondering where the Central Commercial District is, this is it:


Effectively all this means that each company has had their route, day and time authorised by DCC. What we would like is that if you see a bin truck collecting household waste to send us in the company name, day, time and the location of the collection and we can see if they are authorized to collect there and then.
