Tipperary householders are being urged to bring their batteries, electrical, and electronic waste to a Cahir Mart on Saturday for the final free collection day for 2024. Tipperary County council is collaborating with WEEE Ireland to help the county meet national e-waste recycling targets for 2024.
The Cahir event will take place on Saturday November 2nd at Cahir Co-Op Mart on the Cashel Road, Cahir between 10am and 4pm
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.
9.04kg of e-waste was recycled per person in Tipperary last year – falling short of the national average of 10.33kg per person.
WEEE Ireland is warning that the nation needs to meet new forthcoming EU targets to recycle at least 25% of our annual consumption of critical raw materials from e-waste.
