The Social Protection Minister says some waste companies are taking advantage of the new pay-by-weight scheme.
Leo Varadkar said it's not okay for companies to use it as an excuse to hike up prices.
Some bin companies are looking to hike their prices up by 200% as they move to take advantage of the new pay by weight charging scheme.
There's been backlash from people facing increased bills.
Minister Leo Varadkar says it's not acceptable.
The scheme is aimed at making people reduce the amount of waste they produce.
The government also wants to see more recycling with the green bins largely being collected for free under the new rules.
But Fianna Fáil's Barry Cowen says there's a loophole in the legislation.
Minister Simon Coveney will meet with waste collection providers at 6 o'clock this evening.
He's said he's willing to suspend the rule changes if the companies don't agree to review their charge increases.
