There are a number of permitted waste collectors in Donegal who provide a household waste collection service. You can check for permitted waste collectors by visiting the National Waste Collection Permit Office or by contacting Donegal County Council's Waste Regulation Officer.
Only permitted collectors can operate in the County. All waste collected must be disposed of at a licensed facility and any individuals found to be disposing of waste illegally will be prosecuted.
If you are a business or a householder please remember you can only give your waste to an authorised waste collection permit holder. If you do not you are guilty of an offence under the Waste Management Act 1996.
You must apply to the National Waste Collection Permit Office (NWCPO) for a Waste Collection Permit and for the Review of a Waste Collection Permit.
