National Food Waste Recycling Week which runs from the June 5 until June 11 is the national campaign from MyWaste.ie to encourage people to recycle their food waste. This campaign will provide practical advice, with easy to follow hints and tips to encourage everyone to recycle more of their food waste.
As part of this week, Donegal County Council in partnership with Bryson Recycling and Envirogrind Ltd have arranged Free Compost Giveaway Events across the Council’s 6 Recycling Centres. Envirogrind Ltd located in Donegal make compost from a variety of sources, including from food and garden waste collected from households. This is a perfect example of the Circular Economy at work.
Donegal County Council Compost Giveaway Events:
Tuesday 6th June
10am – 12pm Letterkenny Recycling Centre
2pm – 4pm Dungloe Recycling Centre
Wednesday 7th June
10am – 12pm Carndonagh Recycling Centre

Thursday 8th June
10.30am – 12.30pm Laghey Recycling Centre

Householders are asked to bring their own way of collecting the loose compost either using bags or containers, compost will be available while stocks last. Staff will be on site to assist and give advice on food waste recycling and a limited number of Food Waste Recycling Starter Packs will be available to householders. Starter packs include a Food Waste caddy, a roll of compostable liners and information on what food waste can be recycled. In Donegal, waste collectors have been busy over the past number of years offering food waste bins to householders.
This year’s campaign aims to ensure that people understand that food waste needs to be fully separated from all packaging such as plastic or other containers to prevent contamination at the compost and anaerobic digestion facilities leading to higher quality recycling.
