The Environmental Protection Agency has teamed up with Teagasc, the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine and the Local Authorities of Galway, Carlow, Sligo, Meath, Cork and Tipperary to operate six pilot bring centres for Farm Hazardous Waste across the country during November. The aim of the pilot farm hazardous waste collection project is to research the potential for a national farm hazardous waste collection scheme. It will provide data on the types and quantities of farm hazardous waste. If the research pilots bring centres prove to be successful, the aim will be to duplicate this model across the country.
The pilot campaign will give farmers the opportunity to bring their farm hazardous wastes to these centres where it will be collected and transported to a hazardous waste facility for disposal or recovery.
Please follow the link to gain more information about the location of these Brig Centres, the dated in which the wastes will be collected and the wastes that will be accepted.
