Many of the items and materials that we use in our workplace and in our home can be readily recycled.  Recycling offers many benefits including the sustainable re-use of materials, the safe and proper management of hazardous materials, and an increased awareness in relation to reducing unnecessary packaging.

A crucial consideration

What goes in the Recycling bin/bag?

At www.mywaste.ie you can find excellent guidance and advice on how best to manage your waste in an environmental and sustainable manner. If for example you are unsure as to what you should put in your household recycling bin you can find excellent advice by clicking the link below.

Why should material be properly segregated ?

  • Material has to be handled or put through a sorting process before moving on for recycling. The processes used are specific to particular products and any material that is not meant to be in the recycling bin or service is considered as a contaminant and slows down the process.
  • Wet or dirty items will contaminate material they are in contact with and will not be recycled.
  • Don’t forget this material has to be handled at transfer stations by people, and a dirty nappy or food container on a recycling picking line is not very pleasant.
  • Items should be placed loosely in the container as they are easier to process.
  • Please contact your contractor with any queries.
