How to dispose of your food waste in Mayo after Storm Éowyn
Mayo County Council is providing a free food waste drop off service for householders
Storm Éowyn wreaked havoc in Mayo last Thursday night. The county was among the worst affected areas in Ireland and thousands are still without power or water.
The Connacht GAA Air Dome was destroyed and also MacHale Park in Castlebar has been damaged which is to affect upcoming fixtures.
And also waste disposal has become a matter of relative urgency in some areas. To support recycling of excess food waste after Storm Éowyn, Mayo County Council will be providing a free food waste drop off service for householders who do not have capacity in their kerbside brown bins or are not on a kerbside collection route.
The service will be provided on behalf of Mayo County Council by Mc Grath Waste at their Civic Amenity Centre in Castlebar EIRCODE F23 XR66. This will be the only location for drop off of food waste and householders are encouraged to use their own brown bin service whenever possible.
All food must be removed from packaging and food should be presented in compostable bags which are available to purchase though local supermarkets. No plastic bags permitted.
The service will run until February 14th excluding weekends and bank holiday Monday. For opening hours Check https://mcgrathwaste.ie/recycling-centre-opening-hours/
