Household Hazardous Waste Collection

1.7K

t’s time to clear out all those unwanted paints, solvents, drain cleaners and anything else a little too toxic for your average recycling run.

Taking place on Saturday, July 24th, from 10am to 1pm you can bring all your environmentally-danger crap to Greystones’ Park & Ride car park.

If you’re not quite sure what qualifies here, this a list of the kind of hazardous waste that should never hit the bottom of your household bin…

Paints & solvents; batteries; fluorescent tubes; fertilisers; pesticides; poisons; waste medicines, adhesives, inks and resins; caustic soda and waste oils; drain cleaners; cleaning agents & detergents; photographic chemicals; oven cleaners; shoe polishes.

Batteries may be left at any Wicklow County Council recycling centre, whilst paints are taken at Bray Recycling Centre at all times. There will also be household hazardous collections at the Rampere Recycling Centre in Baltinglass on August 7th and The Murrough Recycling Centre in Wicklow Town on August 14th, both also 10am to 1pm.
