Free e-waste and battery recycling events will be held across Carlow
Carlow householders are invited to a free e‑waste and battery recycling event this May.
Households are strongly encouraged to make the most of local e‑waste and battery recycling days that will make clearing out and recycling easier than ever.
While Powerstown Civic Amenity Site accepts WEEE all year round, these four convenient drop‑in recycling days, hosted by WEEE Ireland in partnership with Carlow County Council, give local residents an easy way to clear out unused electrical items in their immediate locality.
Anything with a plug, battery or cable can be recycled free of charge. This includes old washing machines, TVs, kettles, toasters, power and garden tools, electronic toys, phones, cables, IT equipment, remote controls, watches, batteries of all sizes – even farm fence batteries.
The community of Carlow have already made a huge contribution to e‑waste recycling year after year. In 2024 alone, 718 tonnes of electrical waste were collected across the county, with 11.6kg of e‑waste recycled per person – well above the WEEE Ireland regional average of 9.5kg.
