What Is the Cheapest Bin Collection in Wexford?
AES Recycling is cheaper than its competitor at every tier in Wexford, and the gap is wider than the monthly price alone suggests: each AES plan bundles a 140 litre glass bin alongside the general, recycling and organic bins, where the alternative treats glass as a separate charge.
| Provider | Plan | Suits | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| AES Recycling | Lite | 1 to 3 people | €23.00 to €24.00 |
| AES Recycling | SMART | 3 to 5 people | €26.00 to €27.00 |
| Panda Waste | Essential | 1 to 3 people | €27.50 |
| AES Recycling | Plus | 5 people or more | €31.00 to €35.00 |
| Panda Waste | Standard | 3 to 5 people | €32.00 |
| Panda Waste | Plus | 5 people or more | €38.00 |
Prices at the top of each range are the ones quoted most often. Treat the lower figure as the best case and confirm the exact rate for your Eircode before signing up.

Is Paying Per Lift Cheaper in Wexford?
Both Wexford providers offer a pay-per-lift option: a standing monthly charge whether or not your bin goes out, plus a charge each time it does. It is marketed as the budget choice, and for most households it is not.
| Charge | AES | Panda |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly service charge | €15.20 | €9.50 |
| General waste, per lift | €15.60 | €13.50 |
| Recycling, per lift | €8.00 | €4.00 |
| Organic or compost, per lift | €6.60 | €5.00 |
The arithmetic settles it. On AES, one general lift and one recycling lift in a month costs €15.20 + €15.60 + €8.00 = €38.80, which is more than AES Plus, the most expensive monthly plan. On Panda the same two lifts come to €27.00, roughly the Essential plan. A 60 kg weight limit also applies to each AES lift.
Paying per lift only wins for a home that puts its bins out less than once a month — in practice a holiday home, or a property empty for part of the year. For a permanently occupied house, a monthly plan is cheaper in almost every scenario.
Is Bord na Móna the Same as AES in Wexford?
Yes. The company was formerly part of Bord na Móna and traded as Bord na Móna Recycling until the 2024/25 rebrand. If you are searching for Bord na Móna bins in Wexford, AES Recycling is the same collection service under its current name, and the plans above are the ones that replaced it.
This matters for anyone still holding an old account reference or an old bin: the service did not stop, it changed name.
Bin Collection Companies in Wexford
Two companies collect household waste across Wexford:
- AES Recycling — Wexford is one of its twelve counties, alongside Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Limerick, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Tipperary, Westmeath and Wicklow. Three plans, a pay-per-lift option, and a glass bin in every tier;
- Panda Waste — one of the largest operators in the country, collecting in Wexford and nineteen other counties.
If neither collects at your address, the alternatives are a civic amenity site or a once-off collection. Our guide to comparing refuse collection prices covers how those are charged.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bin Collection in Wexford
AES Lite, from €23.00 a month, is the cheapest household plan published in Wexford, ahead of Panda Waste's Essential plan at €27.50. AES also bundles a 140 litre glass bin into every plan. Excess weight is charged at €0.30 per kilogram, so a household that overfills its general bin can pay more than the headline price.
Two companies collect household waste in Wexford: AES Recycling, for which Wexford is one of twelve counties served, and Panda Waste, which collects in twenty counties. Coverage is by collection round rather than county-wide, so a rural address may have fewer options.
Yes, under a different name. The business traded as Bord na Móna Recycling until the 2024/25 rebrand and now operates as AES Recycling. The collection service continued; only the name changed.
Rarely. On AES, a €15.20 monthly service fee plus one general lift (€15.60) and one recycling lift (€8.00) comes to €38.80, which is more than the most expensive monthly plan. Paying per lift only works out cheaper for a home that puts its bins out less than once a month, such as a holiday home.
Yes. All three AES plans — Lite, SMART and Plus — include fortnightly collection of general waste, recycling and organic bins plus a 140 litre glass bin. Most competitors treat glass as a separate charge, which is worth counting when comparing monthly prices.
AES vs Panda Waste: Which Should You Choose in Wexford?
AES is cheaper at every plan level and includes glass, which makes it the sensible first quote for most Wexford households. Panda Waste is worth a second quote if AES does not serve your Eircode, or if its pay-per-lift rates suit you better — Panda's standing charge is €5.70 lower and each lift costs less. Paying per lift beats both only for a property left empty for much of the year.
