Recycling centres to open across Kildare this week

By Kim O'Leary

As the clean-up gets underway in many homes across Kildare after the Christmas festivities, homeowners are being asked to dispose of their waste responsibly through using only licensed waste collectors and recycling centres.

A number of recycling banks will be open this week and homeowners can recycle bottles, glass and even Christmas trees.

In a statement Kildare County Council said: "Don't forget to recycle all your glass bottles, jars and drinks at your nearest recycling bank. Please remember not to leave any boxes or bags at these sites and if banks are full, do not leave any glass or cans around the banks. We will be working to maintain these sites over the Christmas period but need your assistance in doing so."

Two A.E.S run recycling centres will be operational this week including at Gallowshill in Athy, with opening times to commence from today at 8.45am-3pm for the next four days until Saturday 30 December.

Meanwhile, Christmas trees can be left for recycling at the following locations between Friday, 5 January and Saturday 20 January 2018;

-Athy, Meeting Lane

-Glane GAA Club

-Council Depot, Leinster Street, Maynooth

-Naas, Fairgreen

-Council Nursery, Naas Road, Newbridge (between Pfizer and Toughers with the site accessible by driving towards Naas)
