I only switched to Oxgyen a few months…
I only switched to Oxgyen a few months ago and they've not collected my bins several times. Now they are saying there are too many cars in my cul de sac and the bin collectors are particular they have to be able to see the bin to collect it. Do they not have a list of their customers so they can walk a few steps to lift my bin. Was told id get a callback re this but nothing. Very bad service

Hi Andrea,
Thank you for your review. We apologise that your bin was not collected and any inconvenience it has caused. However, we do insist that our customers leave bins out in clear area so we can collect and have space for our bin trucks. This is for the safety of our staff, residents and to minimise accidents with other vehicles.
Your review has been escalated to management in your area. Please call our customer service line at: 0818 694 436 if your bins have still yet to be emptied.
Kind regards,
The Oxigen Team
Rude, tired and lazy lady
I called their office and spoke with a lady who was extremely rude. I emailed the same day, and it seems the same person may be handling emails as well, because I still haven’t received any response. They also left my green bin behind without giving any explanation. This is unacceptable. I hope the business owners are aware of how unprofessional and discourteous their staff are.

Would not be likely to recommend
I've only been with this company two months and already they've missed a compost collection three times. Only one of these was accompanied with a courtesy text. It really feels like they can't be bothered. I'm elderly and they're probably thinking I don't even know what day it is, nevermind the hassle of putting the bin out and back again. Maybe I can't be bothered paying my next direct debit!

Hi Lorraine,
We greatly apologise for the breakdown in communication and disruption to your service. This is not the service that Oxigen is known for and we want to ensure that this issue is fixed going forward.
Please call our customer service line and we will assist you with your account and collections.
Kind regards,

Black Bin was not collected this…
Black Bin was not collected this morning because there was a balance of only €6.30 in my account. I overlooked topping up my account. You would think that after 27 years of being a loyal customer the bin would have been collected and a text message would issue to remind me to top up the account, afterwards. So much for good customer service?

Hi Tom,
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being a loyal customer for so many years. We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the missed collection. Our system requires a sufficient balance to process collections, which helps ensure fairness for all customers.
Your suggestion about reminder notifications is very helpful and we’ll review this as part of improving our service. Please give our customer service team a call on 0818 694 436 and we’ll arrange collection as soon as possible.

Good communication between the person collecting my bins (being returned) and myself and the bins were collected this morning. In my case, this time, one-to-one between driver and myself was much more decisive than email communication which had led to missed previous pick-ups and (almost) charges from the Credit Control Team .
All is well that ends well.
Thank You.

2024 great, 2025 not so good
I have been using Oxigen since Oct 22. Registration, payment and delivery of bins was all very easy. I was initially emailed the delivery schedule. Bins were collected 95% of time in 2023/24. In the last 6 months, on a number of occasions the bins were not collected. Maybe 5 times in all. Since they come every 2nd week, it can be a bit of a stretch to manage if one collection is not picked up. Today I returned home to find a 1/3rd of my recycle bin contents remaining in the bin. I've reported it to customer service but since it's a recurring theme now, I think it warrants reviewing.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear that your initial experience with Oxigen was smooth, but we’re sorry to learn about the recent missed collections and recycling issue. That’s not the level of service we strive for, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance—we’re here to help!

Very disappointing service
With them 2 1/2 years and only now did they have an issue with where my bins were left. They never collected my 2 black bins last week, no call or notice to let me know just didn’t bother collecting them. The lack of communication is ridiculous. Funny thing is I got approval from a lady in admin to leave my bins where I had them (just inside the entrance behind the pier. They could easily be pulled out from there). Adding €20 credit to my account doesn’t solve the issue, I still have 2 full bins just sitting there. Nor does telling me to bring the rubbish to the dump. Very disappointing behaviour from them especially before Christmas and with both of us being disabled.

Customer Care
I recently broke my hip and a relative put out my two bins for collection on the appropriate day but in a slightly different position than usual and at very short notice. I therefore rang the Oxigen office and the kind lady who answered said she would email the Waterford department immediately. To my delight both bins were collected as usual - a small ray of sunshine in what has been a challenging time!

10/10 service all around
Just want to highly commend and recommend the service. The men on the trucks Ben and David are exceptionally professional, leave the bins back properly. They are quiet and consistent with pick up times every week. They are respectful to traffic in the estate always letting cars around. Trucks are always clean and just get the job done. My bin is always put back on the path. The customer service is prompt and helpful and professional. Not enough is said when a business gives a great service so this review is to say 10/10 all around for this service.

Very prompt and helpful customer service
I had a bin mysteriously disappear from the front of my house. While it took 3 weeks to be replaced I was refunded for the inconvenience.
I’d also like to give a special shout out to Dusan, the guy who came to replace the missing bin. He was such a genuinely nice, friendly and informative person. If Oxygen give awards for customer service he should be top of the list.

Highly recommend!
I always have a great experience with Oxigen! Whenever I have an issue (which is very rarely), I know that I can call up the customer care line and the issue will be promptly resolved.
David assisted me recently and they were kind, quick to investigate the issue, and then called me back to let me know everything was sorted out. Couldn't recommend this company enough!

Bins not collected regularly - you discover you bill is due when your neighbours tell you that your bins have fallen over - lack of communication is a real issue.
Communication is a problem with this company. A problem is never solved - the customer is not valued - this company will always argue that you are wrong and they are right.
They always have to have the last word to say that you are wrong and they are right - if they took on board the problem with communication then I wouldn't be leaving this review - bins often not collected and no notification until the bins are knocked over and all along the road - they'll blame me, but a phone call and valuing their customers would have helped and you don't get this at this company.

Uncollected bin
First of all the phone was answered quickly, no long delays listening to music or repeated messages!
Then Pauline who answered my call was most pleasant and assured me she would resolve the issue of a bin that wasn't emptied. I received a return call within an hour and the bin was emptied,as promised, within 24hrs!
