Irish Independent : Independent | Panda Waste to add ‘surcharge’ on bin collections as fall out from Middle East conflict continues

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Panda Waste announced a temporary fuel surcharge on its bin‑collection services after fuel prices surged amid global instability, particularly the Middle East conflict. From May 2026 customers will pay an additional €0.97 + VAT per month (about €12 + VAT annually), roughly 16 cents per collection for a typical three‑bin service, with the charge to be reviewed each month and removed once fuel costs ease. The company said it can no longer absorb the higher operating expenses, following a February increase that raised collection fees by up to 9 % and lifted its half‑yearly service charge by 7.14 %.
