Householders in Mayo are being urged to bring their batteries, electrical, and electronic waste to a set of free collection days to help the county meet national e-waste recycling targets for 2026.

The events, hosted by WEEE Ireland and Mayo County Council, begin this Saturday February 28 from 10 at the Mayo County Council car park in Cong.

There will be various collections throughout March and April including in Westport on March 3 and Ballavary on March 5.

WEEE Ireland CEO Leo Donovan said, “People in Mayo have contributed greatly to e-waste recycling every year, with 1,344 tonnes of electrical waste collected in the county in 2024.”
