FAQs
Some collection trucks may have dual compartments which means they can collect two types of wastes simultaneously, however, if you have any concerns that this is not the case please contact our Environment Section and our enforcement officers will investigate. email: environment@tipperarycoco.ie or call: 0818 06 5000
When your collector empties your brown bin into the bin truck this is taken to an authorised treatment facility for processing. Food waste and bio-waste is now considered a resource. This type of waste can be processed either at a composting facility or anaerobic digestion facility to produce an end product of compost or digestate that can be utilised on gardens or by farmers on their land. An anaerobic digestion facility can also generate heat and power which can be sold to the national grid.
The purpose of these regulations is to promote the segregation and recovery of household food waste and in doing so meet Irelands EU Landfill Directive and EU Waste Directive obligations on the protection of the environment, waste hierarchy, etc., and, National Policy.
