Wheel Bin Service Household
For over 20 years, McElvaney’s have provided a door-to-door waste collection to the people of County Monaghan. Nowadays customers are provided with two 240 litre wheel bins Free of charge – one for Waste (green) and one for mixed dry Recyclables (blue), Click the link for a list of Materials Accepted in the BLUE BIN.

We operate a fair system of Pay-By-Weight charging for the waste bin while the weight of the recyclable material is free of charge. The benefits of this system are two fold:
- From the introduction of the Pay-by-weight and Recycling scheme in 2003, household customers of McElvaneys in County Monaghan have reduced the annual amount of waste sent to landfill from 1,250kgs/house/year to 680kgs at present – one of the lowest in the country, and
- Recycling rates have increased year on year leading to our customers continuing to see the benefit in their half yearly bills.
Mc Elvaney’s currently operate on an alternate week collection basis which means that each household customer receives 26 waste and 26 recycle collections per year.
