From the 1st January 2009, for the first time ever, you can
now put ALL clean dry plastics into your Green Bin
for collection.
This means that all categories of plastic - including bottles,
bags, trays, cartons, films, packaging and hard plastic items
- can all now go into your Green Bin.
As with the previous collection service, all materials require
some preparation before they are put into the Green Bin. The
following simple steps should be followed when preparing materials
for collection -
- Remove all lids and caps
- Clean and dry all materials
- Flatten
all materials.
Greyhound Recycling and Recovery have replaced Oxigen as
the operators of the Green Bin collection service in the Dublin
Region since the 1st January 2009. The changeover will not
effect existing services and collection dates for 2009 are
as per your green bin calendar.
All the materials collected in Green Bins by Greyhound will
now be taken to the Dublin Local Authorities' brand new Materials
Recovery Facility in Ballymount, where all materials are mechanically
segregated using the latest available technologies.
After the materials have been segregated, they are then baled
and made available for further processing or recovery off-site.
By increasing the types of materials that are now accepted
in the Green Bin, the Local Authorities are aiming to achieve
their recycling target of 59% as set out in the Regional Waste
Plan.
