Recycling

Ballyogan Recycling Park accepts a wide range of household waste types, and is open to the public 7 days a week. Please see the information booklet for more details.

Eden Park and Shanganagh Recycling Centres are open Monday to Saturday and offer a range of recycling facilities free of charge. 

The Council has a number of "Bring Bank" facilities across the County area for recycling glass, cans and textiles. These include sites at supermarkets and public car parks, that are all provided free of charge to the public.

Please note that commercial waste is not accepted at any of these facilities.

Note Regarding Waste Collection

Dún Laoghaire/Rathdown County Council transferred its household waste collection service to private waste companies in 2010.

 Any person or company engaging in the collection of waste for profit, where the collection of such waste is not incidental to their main business activity, requires a Waste Collection Permit by law. It is an offence under the Waste Management Acts 1996-2015 to operate as a waste collector without a valid permit.
