Householders In Wicklow Urged To Tackle Hoarding Of Electrical Waste

Householders in Wicklow are being urged to make ‘recycling of household electrical waste’ a new year resolution for 2024.

WEEE Ireland, Wicklow’s designated Compliance Scheme Operator for electrical waste, reports that people in Wicklow have contributed greatly to the nation’s electrical waste recycling every year, with 1.1m tonnes of e-waste collected in the county during 2022.

7.22kg of waste was recycled per person in Wicklow in 2022, falling short of the national average of 10.33kg per person.
