Waste Collection


Waste Collection For Householders

There are two options for managing your waste correctly in Mayo.

  1. Have a contract in place with an authorised door-to-door waste collector also known as a kerbside collection or
  2. Use a Civic Amenity Centre

Door-to-door (kerbside) waste collection:

All waste collectors operating a kerbside collection service in your area will provide a two-bin system for recyclable and residual waste.

If you live in an area with a population of 500 or over, you will also be provided with a brown bin for food waste. In these areas food waste must not be placed in residual waste bins.

There are currently seven permitted waste collection companies operating in Mayo. Full permit details are available from the National Waste Collection Permit Office - www.nwcpo.ie
