Shocking service

Shocking service. Based in Stoneybatter and we were forced to move from bags to caddy bins. Though bag service always consistent, for past three out of four weeks, various collections have been missed, completely inconsistent. And when bins emptied I've found them either going halfway down the street or left on public road. Brutal service

A disgrace of a company

A disgrace of a company, the customer service should be ashamed to even use the word "service" in their title. I hope they are paid well to lie to customers on a daily basis, which I very much doubt.
From the management down this company is rotten.

Worst service ever

Worst service ever. Not only did they leave rubbish scattered across the street. They also didn’t collect the bins on many occasion

When I went to cancel they charged me for an extra month after the cancellation date

Avoid at all cost

Missed bin collections numerous times

Missed bin collections numerous times.
Then try to charge you then for their inadequate service which you’ve already paid for.

Awful customer service agents who have little command of the English language or empathy at that. Just hang up the phone for no reason because they are idiots.

Go to city bin instead.

I have never been so poorly treated as…

I have never been so poorly treated as a costumer. Since hiring greyhound they missed more bins than collected them. When I called to customer service they blame on me for not putting the bins out, which is a lie, rather than admitting their mistakes. They are rude on the phone and do all their communications via phone so you have nothing on record to complain when they miss once again your bin collection next week. After calling more than 6 times to complain and try to sort the issue, they keep blaming me, the costumer, for their bad service and make it extra complicated every time I tried to cancel my account. I am writing here because I am tired of them dismissing me over the phone and refusing to say anything on record or give me any refund.

We're sorry if this wasn't explained clearly during your previous contacts with us. We always aim to provide courteous and helpful service, and we're disappointed to hear you were unhappy with your experience.

I messaged online app about a crack in my black bin and I was dealt with very effectively by Alan. He arranged a replacement bin for me straight away which is due in the next 4 days. Very straightforward. Thank you Alan

I just watched their operator spill rubbish in the street as he was tipping my bin. Looked at it, didn't bother to pick it up. Lazy git.

Hi John, we’re really sorry to hear about this. That’s not the standard of care or professionalism we expect from our team. Any spill should always be cleaned up as part of the collection process.

We’ll be raising this with the local operations team to review what happened and ensure it’s addressed. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Truly awful company to deal with

Truly awful company to deal with. All customer service seems to be based out of India and impossible to understand what is being said. I've been goaded into arguments over nonsense on 2 occasions with Indian men and have given up trying to resolve problems. Truly awful experience

Would give 0 Stars if I could

Would give 0 Stars if I could.
I have to close my account due to moving house and bringing our bins with us was not an option due to where we’re moving to. Closing the account has been an absolute nightmare.
We needed our bins emptied before they were removed from the property, greyhound thinks it’s acceptable to message the morning of a bin collection to say the bins are being emptied that day? I rang to say this is ridiculous i obviously don’t have the bins out and I am not home. I arranged for the bins to be collected 2 days later on the Saturday, bins were left out Friday night, sat there all day and no one arrived to collect. Also didn’t receive any communication to say the bins were being emptied so I’m highly doubtful this was correctly scheduled at all. I rang to complain that the bins were not emptied and was told “they couldn’t be located”, funny how they were left where they are always left and for the previous 56+ weeks there’s never been an issue with the bins being collected, but when it’s needed because I’m closing the account suddenly the bins “couldn’t be located”. The customer service agent I spoke to Monday was terrible. Zero consideration for this situation and the stress it’s putting me under. I’m being told the bins can’t be emptied until Thursday, and they won’t be removed until 3-5 business days later. I will no longer live at the address and greyhound has suggested I just leave the bins out for removal? Yet if there’s any waste in the bins I don’t doubt they’ll refuse to collect them on that basis. Despite leaving them out for god knows how many days being their guidance. And if something were to happen to the bins while they were left out I’m sure they’d hold me responsible. This has been the worst customer service experience and I’m extremely regretful I ever gave them business. I strongly advise anyone to stay away and I will never return as a customer. If the process had been handled differently this would have been very different.

Hi Sarah, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused while trying to close your account.

Bin removals do need to follow scheduled collection routes, which can sometimes affect the timing of final collections and removals. That said, we completely understand how important it is to have clear communication and reliable scheduling when you’re trying to leave a property, and it’s disappointing to hear that this wasn’t your experience.

Please contact us at info@greyhound.ie or via live chat at greyhound.ie with your account details so we can look into this for you and assist in getting the matter resolved as quickly as possible.

Hi Barbara, we’re sorry to hear that your bin wasn't collected.

Sometimes collections can be missed due to access issues, route disruptions etc but this is something we would need to check on your account to understand exactly what happened.

Please contact us at info@greyhound.ie or chat with our team on greyhound.ie with your address details so we can investigate the missed collections and arrange a return if required. We’ll be happy to look into this for you and get it resolved.

My mother lives in the Dublin 12 area…

My mother lives in the Dublin 12 area and I’d like to share her experience with Greyhound.

Over the last few years, on my recommendation, she has called Greyhound customer service to ask if it would be possible to have her emptied bins left outside her house after being emptied. Instead of being left outside either 3 or 4 houses in either direction.

(Just to note her house is on a main road and there are no cars parked on the street that would prevent this.)

This is a big deal for her as she is a senior and needs a support to walk. Her eyes are also very bad and she’s not very confident on her own.

Each time she has called she has been assured that attention will be given to this matter, however nothing changes.

In contrast, I use Thorntons and live on a side street off the main road, which is packed with cars, and our bins are ALWAYS left right outside our house… So it is possible!

I’m writing this review just so elderly people might get some perspective before deciding on Greyhound. I’ve no confidence that anything will change, but am confident this review, like all the telephone calls, will fall on deaf ears. It’s evident the company doesn’t care.

Greyhound Recycling – Masters of Unintentional Littering

If you’ve ever dreamed of watching your waste take a scenic tour of your street before vanishing into the abyss of inefficiency, Greyhound Recycling is the service for you.
Let’s be honest: they don’t so much collect rubbish as redistribute it. Every bin day is like a reverse magic show – you start with full bins, and somehow end up with more trash on the ground than you started with. It’s almost impressive. Like a twisted environmentalist's paradox: the more they come, the worse the street looks.
Their trucks leave a trail of chaos in their wake, like metallic tumbleweeds of mismanagement, scattering recycling across driveways, gutters, and any available storm drain. If Greyhound had a motto, it should be: "Creating more mess so you don’t have to."
Customer service? Imagine shouting into a landfill and hoping for a reply. Spoiler alert: the landfill is more responsive.
In short, Greyhound Recycling isn’t so much helping the planet as giving it a nervous breakdown. 10/10 for irony, 0/10 for actual waste collection.
Avoid if you value clean streets, competent service, or the concept of recycling itself.

Hi Susanne, we’re really sorry for the experience you had — we completely understand how frustrating it must have been to have everything organised and then be left without the skip you booked. That’s not the standard we aim for, and we apologise for letting you down.

We’ll be reviewing what went wrong here to make sure overbooking doesn’t happen and customers aren’t left in that position again.
