National Food Waste Recycling Week 2026 is here, running from May 30th to June 7th!

This year, MyWaste is encouraging us all to elevate our brown bin use even further. To maximise the impact of your brown bin during and beyond, here are three areas to focus on:

1. Line Your Caddy: Always use certified compostable liners in your kitchen caddy for a cleaner, more hygienic experience.

2. Present More Often: Don't wait for your brown bin to be completely full. Put it out regularly on your collection dates, even if it is only partially full, to maintain a consistent recycling routine and ensure efficiency.

3. Stay Vigilant Against Contamination: Take a moment to double-check items, remove all packaging, and be aware of common "bin intruders" to keep your brown bin pure.

For more information on proper usage, please visit MyWaste.ie for a comprehensive A-Z guide, helpful tips, and answers to FAQs.

Together, we can continue to strengthen Ireland's circular economy!
