Recycling Banks
Please be aware that the glass, can and textile banks across the county are used more in December and January than in other months. If banks are full, please be patient as the contractor will be working throughout the period to empty the banks. If the banks are full, please bring the glass with you as leaving waste near the banks may result in a litter fine, and please, please, please, do NOT leave any boxes, bags or other waste behind you- we have cctv at many sites and you will receive a litter fine of €150 if you are caught.
