Easter Collection Schedule
Welcome back to our blog series on helping you reduce household waste. From the 1st of July every household in the country will pay for bin collection on a pay by weight basis so reducing the weight in your bins has a financial benefit for your household. In today’s blog post, we address our six top tip for using your recycling bin wisely!
As the clock ticks down to the changeover to ‘Pay by Weight,’ we have compiled your most frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions not answered in the below blog post on ‘Pay by Weight’ please email us to domestic@BarnaRecycling.com.
In light of the introduction of new government legislation all households in the country will be paying for their waste on a pay by weight basis from the 1st of July onwards.
Pay by Weight is based on the principle of “the more you waste, the more you pay.” In practice, this also means that if you waste less, you will be rewarded by paying less.
So, “how do we waste less?” we hear you ask! At Barna Recycling, we have decided to provide you with a regular blogpost full of helpful tips on how you can reduce your household waste! Read our first blogpost on smart meal planning and shopping to reduce food waste!
As you may have noticed from our previous blog posts, Barna Recycling sponsored the fifth race ‘The Barna Recycling Rated Novice Hurdle’ at the Galway Races Bank Holiday Monday Meeting, on the 26th of October.

The pupils and teachers at Cornafulla NS, Athlone, Co Roscommon are working very hard at recycling and reducing waste.
Check out these Spooky Halloween DIY homemade costumes sent in from Cornafulla NS, Athlone, Co Roscommon.
This October the children in Infants and 1st class made spooky masks and the children in 2nd-6th class made Halloween decorations, made out of recyclable materials. The school also sent us an amazing video of the masks that the Junior Infants made and the Halloween decorations that Mrs Quigley’s 3rd Class made.
We are running a ‘Spooky Recyclables’ Halloween competition and the theme is Homemade DIY Costumes, made from recyclable materials.
