The introduction of Kerbside Recycling by the private household waste collectors has had a significant effect of the levels of households now participating in recycling. The recycling rate for County Donegal has steadily increased since the recycling bins and bags were first introduced and in 2006 the recycling rate reached over 25%.
All Waste Collectors have introduced a collection of Mixed Dry Recyclables for householders. Dry Recyclables are materials like Paper, Cardboard, Plastic, Aluminium and Steel cans. This system will allow for these materials to be collected directly from the householder in a second wheeled bin or pre-paid bag. This will make recycling much more accessible to the householder.
For details on what recycling bins or bags in your area contact your local waste collector.
