This Recycling facility requires all Man with a Van companies to have registered with them before arriving at the Recycle centre. When you are filling out the form to get quotes for recycling, choose the "recycle" option in the job type part of the form. By choosing the recycle option when filling out the form it means that you will only get quotes from Man with a Van companies that say they are licenced to do this type of move. Unlicensed van companies cannot by law move recycled waste. Although this may be the closest Recycling facility to you, the Man with a Van company may have permission to use another facility. When talking to the Van Company please ask where they have permission to unload recycled waste. Please be mindful that if a quote is very cheap they may be unlawfully disposing of the recyclables. It is your responsibility to ensure this does not happen. This facility operates a weigh bridge and will charge the van driver for the weight they dispose of.

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.
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.
