Enhanced Commercial Waste Regulations came into force on July 1st, 2023.

What the measures in the enhanced regulations will mean for business:
All organisations are obligated to source segregate the waste arising on their premises by, at a minimum, using the 3 bin system to place recyclable material in the mixed dry recyclable bin, organic waste in the “brown” bio-waste bin and all remaining material in the residual waste bin.
Battery boxes can be made available by the appropriate EPR scheme to your area. Delivery and collection of the battery boxes can be requested through the appropriate EPR scheme website, weeeireland.ie or erp-recycling.org.ie.
