As you may have noticed from our previous blog post, we at Barna Recycling are sponsoring a race at the Galway Races Bank Holiday Monday Meeting, on the 26th of October.
The sponsored race is called ‘The Barna Recycling Rated Novice Hurdle’ and is the fifth race on the card. The race will run at approximately 3.35pm.
In keeping with tradition Barna Recycling will be sponsoring a race at the October bank holiday Galway Races meet up. The race meeting is running from Sunday the 25th to Monday 26th October and promises to be a fun filled event. It’s the ideal way to spend your Bank Holiday weekend and bid farewell to the final race meeting of the year!
We were delighted to have been a part of the ’Kids Remembrance Festival of Football’ on Saturday the 29th of August. With over 250 children taking to the pitch it was a hive of activity for all involved. It was held in memory of Sonny and Paddy McHugh and Ned Keogh. The family fun day offered attendees a huge choice of events and activities. A big well done to all those involved.
Congratulations to everyone involved with the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, in Sligo, August 15th to 17th. The numbers this year have increased from the previous year, and the whole event was a credit to the organising committee.

With the children on holidays from school and a long weekend on the horizon, this can only mean one thing – more waste! Why not encourage your children to learn about recycling, and who knows they might enjoy it!
Follow these handy tips that will tell you all you need to know…
Try to have two to three bins in your kitchen. Depending on your area you may or may not have a food compost bin. Clearly label the bins and associate each of them with a colour; black for general waste, blue or green for recycling and brown for food waste. This will make it easier for children of all ages to tell them apart. You could even get the little ones to draw pictures to place on the bin.
Grass cutting season is well and truly in full swing and with it, here at Barna Recycling, we are noticing a significant increase in the weight of domestic brown food waste and black general waste bins as a result of domestic grass clippings. Many householders are unaware however that mulching is a great and easy alternative method to dispose of grass clippings.
Please note customers who normally receive collections on a Monday will no longer experience a change to their collection day because it falls on a bank holiday Monday. Barna Recycling will now operate collections on bank holiday Mondays as per normal Mondays.
From July 2016, all households in Ireland will pay for their waste collection on a pay by weight basis in order to comply with changes to the law. Around the country, many households are already paying by weight for waste collection. If you are a pay by weight customer, here are some handy tips on how to reduce your waste bill and help the planet all at the same time!
Barna Recycling are delighted to partner with OBEO, an Irish company who have developed an easy-to-use, sturdy food waste box which holds up to 2kg of food waste. It’s water-resistant and closes tight so it keeps those nasty smells locked away. Once your OBEO box is full, it can be placed directly into your Barna Recycling brown bin.
