There are a few days left for households in Galway to avail of a bulky goods waste collection initiative in the city and county this month.
The City and County Councils are running a €5 Bulky Goods anti-dumping initiative which began at the end of July, and will continue until this Saturday, August 12.
The collection is running at the Tuam, Clifden, and Ballinasloe Civic Amenity Sites, along with the Barna Recycling facility on the Headford Road in Galway City.
For €5, people can recycle three-piece suites, wardrobes, bedside lockers, mattresses, bed frames, dining tables and chairs.
Galway city and county councils have reminded the public that this service must be booked online via the Barna Recycling website before arriving at any of the sites.
Pre-booking is essential to avail of the €5 gate fee and regular gate and weighbridge fees will be incurred if people arrive at sites without prior online booking of the service.
The service is for householders only, and commercial operators will be turned away.
The local authorities have said that items which will not be accepted include construction and demolition waste, hazardous waste, bags of household waste, toys, trampolines, ceramic and textiles.
