Wiser Bins Prices and Packages for Households
Wiser Bins provide a relatively simple three-bin system, with several options relating to bin size along with varying Wiser Bins prices to match.
- The two-bins system with recycling and waste is available throughout their coverage area
- The three-bins system includes recycling, waste, and food waste within urban areas
- The four-bins system includes recycling, waste, food waste and glass, but is only available within certain urban areas
Exactly what “certain urban areas” is defined as is unfortunately not elaborated further upon on their website.
All of their packages come with handy payment options of one, three or six month periods, although there is no additional discount for proceeding with a multi-month payment as opposed to paying for an individual months service.

Wiser Bins Commercial Information
The offerings to commercial clients, particularly Wiser Bins Cork and West Waterford customers is a little broader than the domestic offering.

Does Wiser Bins have an app?
Unusually for this era, Wiser Bins does not yet appear to have an app on either the Google Play or Apple App stores, so for those who prefer to check their accounts on the go, or who have limited access to a computer, this may be something worth considering. Furthermore, Wiser Bins is lacking a social media presence, which is generally a modern standard for both reaching customers with notices, and an option for issue resolution.
Domestic customers can also manage their accounts and pay bills via the online portal or “Pay a Household Bill” sections. To access this you would require your Wiser Bins login details of:
- Your customer number
- Your pin
After inputting these details, select if you are seeking to pay a household or commercial bill from the drop-down box, and select “Log In”.
If you have forgotten your pin, select the “Pin Retrieval” button. This will take you to a page where you must input your customer number, a preferred email address or phone number, and again select if you are a domestic household or commercial customer. After clicking “Submit”, you will receive details to your email or phone regarding your account recovery and new Wiser Bins login details.
Click the “Remember Me” button on the Wiser Bins login page once you have inputted the correct details to save time on inputting these again in future.
So, how do Wiser Bins Weigh up?
Overall, Wiser Bins appears to be a relatively no-frills waste collection and recycling company, and certainly a potential contender to consider if you are moving home. They may miss out on the modern tech side of things for customers, but they do make up for this in their range of waste disposal options and packages.
Existing clients of Wiser Bins have given them a 2.2 out of 5-star rating on their Google business page, with many citing the reliability of their collections services being somewhat hit-and-miss, but there are certainly reviews that also argue the opposite point, and praise the quality of the customer service that they have experienced.
