Free food waste recycling Mayo service following storm

Published:

TO support recycling of excess food waste after Storm Éowyn, Mayo County Council is providing a free food waste drop-off service for householders who do not have capacity in their kerbside brown bins or are not on a kerbside collection route.

The service will be provided on behalf of Mayo County Council by McGrath Waste at their Civic Amenity Centre in Castlebar (Eircode: F23 XR66).

This will be the only location for drop-off of food waste and householders are encouraged to use their own brown bin service whenever possible.

All food must be removed from packaging and food should be presented in compostable bags which are available to purchase though local supermarkets. No plastic bags are permitted.

The service will run until February 14, excluding weekends and bank holiday Monday.

For opening hours, check https://mcgrathwaste.ie/recycling-centre-opening-hours/.

For further information, contact the environment office of Mayo County Council on (094) 9064000 or email environment@mayococo.ie.
