With an online account, you can add money to your account before leaving to dump your rubbish.
When you enter your mobile number and PIN at the BIGbin, the drum will open.
This is the handiest service for when I have some extra bags of rubbish and recycling. I’ve a lot extra with the kids off school and them eating me out of house and home! Easy to use service and cheap at €8 because I can easily fit two black bags into the drum. Can’t recommend enough. 5 stars!
Great service. Used the one near me today, the bin was locked open when I arrived so called the number on the bin, the guy on the phone was very helpful. He even gave a few tips to fit more into the drum to more value for my money. Will definitely use this service again!
I’ve been using BIGbin for some years now. I don’t think wheelie bins are worth having as we have only 2 adults in our household so it’s very convenient for us.
Great service for getting rid of extra rubbish. Fantastic price point too! Convenient location and easily accessible.
For that extra bag of waste that won’t fit into your bin, this is a super service. Clear and easy to follow the instructions. Very happy with BIGbin.
BIGbin waste and recycling compactors are on petrol forecourts and shopping centres around Ireland.
