Nowadays it is possible to recycle almost anything, and Ireland has been working to make it easier for people to dispose of their reusable items. There are clothes banks, bottle banks and electrical bring centres all over the country

You can check out our listing of recycling centres close to you.

Vanquotes.ie makes this easy. You can check out our Recycling Centre listings and find one that’s close to you. The chances are this will be the one that the man and van may bring your unwanted items but not all recycling centres allow vans to do this commercially. They may have to go to one that they have permission, and this may be more local to them than you. A quick call to the recycling centre will answer this but please be sure to mention it’s a commercial van. You can also do this by filling out the online form at vanquotes.ie and drivers who have a permit or permission will get back to you with a quote.

Prepare to recycle.

Before moving home, even before packing, the first thing to do is to is a clear out. Van drivers will tell you of countless times they move items from the old house to the new, only to be asked to dispose of a sofa or a mattress that they have just transported. A double lift and it takes up precious limited space in a van. In articles on tips for moving  the first thing mentioned is often to do a clear out.
