Thousands of residents in Fingal are facing a €110 annual bill for bin collection.
The fixed charge will be introduced next year in addition to the pay-as-you-use tag system that is in place, a Fingal County Council spokeswoman said.
She said the fixed charge is being introduced to roll out the brown bin collection - for kitchen and organic waste - countywide and expand the green bin recycling service.
"We've been among the cheapest in the country. The council has been subsidising waste collection, but to provide a better level of service we have to introduce charges," the spokeswoman added.
Director of environment at the council PJ Howell, said: "We must operate a refuse and recycling service that pays for itself, and at the moment it is heavily subsidised."
He also said the "fair and user-friendly" charges would cover waste-collection costs that are forecast to leap from €7.3 million to €11 million next year with the proposed expanded service.
The proposal for the fixed charge will be presented to councillors and voted on next week.
No changes are proposed for the current pay-as-you-use tag system, which allows residents to buy tags in shops and garages for black bin bag waste. The tag prices are not applied to green bins and will not be applied to brown bins.
