Someone mentioned to me on Friday as we drove passed: There's a small recycling centre in there somewhere.
They were very wrong. There is a massive recycling centre in there and its excellently organised and run.
I didn't realise I would be visiting Ballyogan Recycling Park the very next day and what an experience it was. The place is setup brilliantly for people to drive in, park and dispose of their recycling. The different bins or collection boxes are clearly marked for what they accept. And the place is spotless. My sister tells me the same person is there always keeping the place tidy.
A few things to note, you can bring a car load of garden waste here too and it will cost you we think 7 EUR. More if you have a car trailer. For this you will need to turn left as you come in the front gate and pay the lady at the barrier.
Another thing to note is all the WEEE waste is in a separate section to the regular recycling and for this you also need to go through the barrier to the left as you come in. The nice lady at the barrier will give you a receipt and let you in with no charge. Just drive passed the garden waste and you'll see the WEEE section further on. Again this place is setup perfectly with everything clearly marked as to where things should go.
For a recycling experience, Ballyogan Recycling Park is as good as it gets. read more
