At Thorntons Recycling, community and care are central to
our mission—and this weekend, we’re proud to play our part in supporting one of
Ireland’s most powerful movements for hope and healing.
We’re honoured to announce that Thorntons Recycling is
providing full waste management services for five key locations during this
Saturday’s Darkness Into Light 5km walk, the annual fundraising event in
support of Pieta’s life-saving mental health services.
This year, we are proudly managing waste and sustainability
efforts at the following locations:
As thousands of people walk together from darkness into
light at dawn, our team will be on the ground before, during, and after each
event, ensuring clean, safe, and environmentally responsible spaces for all
participants and volunteers.
We know that moments like this are more than just events—they’re acts of solidarity, reflection, and support for those struggling with mental health challenges or grieving lost loved ones. That’s why we’re committed not only to keeping these venues clean but also to upholding the community spirit that drives them.
Why It Matters
Pieta’s work in suicide prevention and mental health support has touched
thousands of lives across Ireland. Every step taken during Darkness Into Light
helps fund free, 24/7 counselling services and outreach programmes for those in
crisis. Thorntons Recycling is deeply proud to contribute to that mission by
supporting the event’s logistics and sustainability.
From all of us at Thorntons Recycling, we wish the very best
to all walkers, volunteers, and organisers taking part this Saturday, May 10th.
