The Dublin Waste Management Plan has set a recycling rate target of 60% for the Region which will be a challenge for householders and businesses to achieve.

In response the Dublin Local Authorities are improving the recycling infrastructure available to householders. In the Dublin Region there are now 8 recycling centres  in operation which accept a wide range of both non-hazardous and hazardous household items. In addition there are 10 community bring centres which are similar to recycling centres but serve a smaller community and accept fewer waste types. 

Pigeon House Road Recycling Centre

Recycling centres accept everything from glass, cans, paper, plastics, and textiles to fridges, mobile phones and batteries and for the most part materials are accepted free of charge.
