Additional Areas for our Brown Bin Service!

Top Tips for Keeping Your Wheelie Bin Clean!

Barna Recycling will now be providing Brown Bins for Food Waste to additional areas. These areas include:

  • Portumna
  • Headford
  • Clifden
  • Oughterard
  • Barna
  • Moycullen
  • Lackagh
  • Corofin

So, if you are new to the Barna Recycling Brown Bin, do you know what it is used for? The Brown Bin is used for kitchen and organic waste. This organic material is then taken to our purpose built composting facility.

Here the waste from your Brown Bin is processed into compost for use as a natural, high quality fertiliser for use by farmers and horticulturalists.

Not all areas have access to the Brown Bin facility. But keep an eye on our blogs to keep updated on our company news.
