Compost and Food Waste Kit Giveaway 08/06/2022
We were delighted to be joined by Councillor Lettie McCarthy and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council My Waste group at our second Compost giveaway in the Thorntons-run Ballyogan Recycling Centre last Friday!
This event was happening during National Food Waste Recycling Week and also included free kitchen caddies for use with your household brown compost bin.
Commenting on the campaign, Minister of State, Ossian Smyth, said: “Food waste is a significant contributor to carbon emissions, adding to climate change. The best way to address this is to try to cut down on food waste in the first place.
“But it is inevitable that there will almost always be food matter left over in homes and businesses, so recycling it means that it does not just go to landfills, it becomes a useful resource instead, contributing positively to the growth of Ireland’s bio-economy.”
Thorntons Recycling leave a free compostable bin liner after every brown bin household collection to keep your bin as fresh and clean as possible. Please request a brown compost bin from us if you do not have one currently –

Next Compost and Food Waste Kit giveaway will be in Trim Recycling Centre on Thursday 16th June, from 10am – 1pm.
