Waste Management

Waste management is co-ordinated by the environment section of Sligo County Council.  This involves a wide area of activities.

Householders/ Domestic Users:

We have details on household waste collections – who collects waste across county Sligo, and when.  You can find out about how you should present your waste (and related byelaws).  In  the recycling section you can find out how to reduce your waste bills dramatically.  

Commercial Users

Forms and Guidelines are available to download on waste permits, WEEE regulations, packaging regulations and how you can audit your business to reduce your waste costs. 

Hazardous Waste

If you are trying to safely dispose of hazardous waste, there are details of all the permitted collectors, details of where some hazardous can be safely disposed of in civic amenity sites as well as information for commercial producers of hazardous waste. 

Recycling

This is one of the best ways to save YOU money as recycling cuts down dramatically on the volume of waste you leave out for landfill.  This section looks at where you can recycle, what you can recycle, and how you can reduce the amount of waste you produce.
