LIMERICK householders are urged to bring their batteries, electrical, and electronic waste to a free collection day to help the county meet national e-waste recycling targets for 2025.
The event, hosted by WEEE Ireland, takes place this Saturday (April 5) from 10am to 4pm at Castletroy College.
Anything with a plug, battery, or cable can be recycled for free on the day, including old washing machines, TVs, toasters and kettles, electronic tools and toys, cables, IT equipment, mobile phones, remote controls, batteries, including farm fence batteries, and even watches.
WEEE Ireland warns that “the nation needs to meet new forthcoming EU targets to recycle at least 25 per cent of our annual consumption of critical raw materials from e-waste”. Visit weeeireland.ie for more.
