  Christmas Recycling Facts & Tips We Bet You Didn’t Know

  Christmas is a festive season full of joy and generosity. However, the most wonderful time of the year also comes with a less festive byproduct: waste. Mountains of wrapping paper, packaging, and unwanted decorations find their way to landfills, contributing to a cycle of waste that harms the environment.

  In Ireland alone, the disposal of nearly 1 million tonnes of waste over the festive season places immense strain on local waste management systems. Addressing this challenge requires both individual effort and community awareness.

  

   

  Surprising Christmas Recycling Facts You May Not Know

  Here are some interesting Christmas recycling facts you should know:

  • If a household reuses a plastic tree for up to five years, its carbon footprint will be smaller than a household that buys a real tree every year.
  • One ton of recycled Christmas cards can save 15 trees.
  • At Christmas time, we use over 1,100 tonnes of wrapping paper, enough to gift wrap the Spire in Dublin over 10 times.
  • Shiny, metallic wrapping paper and glitter-covered cards are often non-recyclable because they frequently contain plastics and foils that contaminate recycling streams.
  • +30 Million Batteries are sold over Christmas.
  • Over 50% of plastic packaging, including toy boxes and food containers, remains unrecycled each Christmas.

   

  Barna Recycling’s Top Tips To Reduce Waste This Holiday Season

  1. Recycle Your Christmas Tree

  

  Real Christmas trees can easily be recycled or shredded into chippings and used in parkland areas. Artificial Christmas trees cannot be recycled but can be reused and donated to family, friends, or a local charity shop. If these are not possible, another alternative would be to bring your artificial Christmas trees to a civic amenity site to dispose of. Find your nearest civic amenity site here.

  Where to Recycle Christmas Trees?

  An artificial Christmas tree is seen as a bulky waste item. It can be brought to your local civic amenity site (except our civic amenity site in Clifden) to be disposed of. Our civic amenity sites will also accept real Christmas trees. Find out more ways on how you can recycle or replant your Christmas tree.

   

  2. Upcycle Old Christmas Decorations with Creativity

  

  Recycling Christmas decorations is another effective way of reducing waste. When taking down your decorations, some items may be broken and need to be disposed of. Often items that are deemed to be single-use items can be used again, so before you dispose of everything, take a minute to think if this could be used again next year. It is best to sort through your decorations as you are taking them down. 

  You can also embrace the beauty of sustainability by choosing decorations that can be reused year after year. Invest in timeless pieces made from durable materials, reducing the need for constant repurchase. When the time comes to refresh your decor, ensure that the materials are recyclable, contributing to a cyclical and eco-conscious festive aesthetic.

   

  3. Mindful Gifting & Christmas Cards

  

  In the quest for the perfect present and Christmas cards, consider options with a minimal ecological impact. Opt for items made from recycled materials and sustainable resources. Another way to reduce waste is by recycling your Christmas cards. It is safe to place the holiday cards you received in your home recycling bin. Any plastic, paper or cardboard design materials are recyclable. However, these may not be recyclable if the card contains glitter or any bulky designs. 

  Plan gift-giving wisely and avoid excessive packaging by opting for experience-based gifts like vouchers or memberships, which come with minimal material waste.

   

  4. Saving on Wrapping paper

  

  Try and save any reusable pieces of wrapping paper and store them safely for next year. Save any gift bags that can be used again next year too. But be sure to take off any name tags from the bag! 

  Besides, ditching traditional wrapping paper in favour of recyclable alternatives like brown kraft paper, fabric wraps, or even old newspapers allows you to explore eco-friendly alternatives. Cloth wraps, reusable gift bags, or even repurposed newspapers can add a touch of creativity while minimising the environmental strain of single-use wrapping paper. Elevate your gift presentation without compromising on sustainability.

   

  EXTRA TIP: Keep An Eye For Batteries and Chargers

  Batteries and chargers are considered hazardous waste but are still important components for controllers and children’s toys. Since they cannot be disposed of at home, you must bring them back to where they were purchased or to a civic amenity site. Electrical items such as chargers also need to be disposed of correctly. They need to be returned to where they were purchased or brought to a WEEE drop-off recycling point or your local Civic Amenity Site to be disposed of. Click here for more information on how to dispose of WEEE the right way.

   

  Using Your Household Bins To Dispose of Your Christmas Waste

  Boxes

  Ensure you maximise the space in your bins by breaking down waste before you put it in. This is especially important for the recycling bin. Cardboard boxes and packaging can quickly take up a lot of space, so be sure to break down bulkier items. Remember that overflowing bins or items left out beside your bins may not be taken away.

  As a safety precaution, we always advise our customers not to leave boxes of expensive items beside their bins, such as new TVs or game consoles, as this may encourage theft. If you do not have space for such boxes, bring them to your local civic amenity site or store them in a shed or garage until you have sufficient room to put them in your bin.

   

  Christmas Cards and Wrapping Paper

  When disposing of wrapping paper, the most important thing is to note that not all paper is recyclable. Any wrapping paper containing glitter, foil, or tape will have to go in the waste bin. Similarly, for Christmas cards with excess glitter, ribbons or homemade cards that contain glue must go in the general waste bin. In the case of ribbons, you can also save it and reuse it again for wrapping presents next year.

   

  Christmas Decorations

  Items such as tinsel that can’t be used again can be placed in the general waste bin. Fresh wreaths can be put into your compost bin once you take off any non-compostable materials. Broken glass baubles need to be brought to the bottle bank, and lights and electrical appliances that no longer work can be brought to a WEE disposal site. Please note that any electrical items that contain a battery must also have the batteries removed before being disposed of or for safety reasons. Any decorations wholly made of metal should be brought to your local civic amenity site.

   

  If your bin is overflowing well in advance of your collection day, call the Barna Customer Care Team on 091 771619 to discuss your options.

  How Technology Can Help You Reduce Waste

  

  From food waste to single-use products, the need for adopting more sustainable practices has become even clearer with all the environmental challenges we’ve faced in the past years. 

  Like in other aspects of our daily lives, technology has played an important role in helping people become more conscious regarding waste disposal. Waste reduction apps are emerging as powerful tools for individuals and communities to minimise waste generation, promote recycling, and adopt more sustainable practices. More than only making waste reduction more accessible, these digital solutions also encourage a shift in mindset towards responsible consumption.

  Let’s look into the apps making waves in waste reduction, showing how simple technology can catalyse significant environmental change.

   

  Top Waste Reduction Apps and How They Work

  From food to household items,  the vast array of waste-reducing apps available can help users tackle various forms of waste in daily life.

  Apps for Food Waste Reduction
  

  Food waste is a major contributor to landfills, and two leading apps are addressing this issue with innovative approaches.

  • Too Good To Go: On this app, restaurants, cafes, and bakeries list leftover food that would otherwise be thrown away. Users can then browse the map for food near them and pick up a ‘magic bag’ for a fraction of the original retail cost. You can register for free and specify your dietary requirements.
  • Olio: Designed to foster a local sharing economy through community sharing as the app lets users offer surplus food and household items to neighbours. By fostering a local sharing economy, Olio helps households minimise waste.

  Apps for Secondhand Shopping and Reuse
  

  Encouraging a circular economy, these apps connect individuals to give used items a second life.

  • Depop: Popular among young consumers, Depop is a fashion resale app where users buy and sell secondhand clothing. By reducing the demand for new fashion production, Depop aids in cutting down the carbon footprint associated with the industry.
  • Nuw: Founded by Irish entrepreneur Aisling Byrne, Nuw turns fashion into a currency: you upload an item, earn coins, and use these coins to redeem a “nuw” piece.

   

  Benefits of Using Waste Reduction Apps

  

  The positive impact of waste reduction apps extends beyond environmental benefits; they also provide economic and educational advantages.

  When waste is minimised, there’s less need for new resources, leading to a more sustainable environment. Moreover, some waste reduction apps save consumers and businesses money by providing discounted surplus goods or encouraging the reuse of items. 

  Waste reduction apps also empower consumers by providing knowledge on sustainable practices. Through app notifications, tips, and interactive features, consumers become more informed about environmental issues and motivated to make eco-friendly choices daily.

   

  Take an Important Step Towards Sustainability

  Barna Recycling is Connacht’s leading provider of waste management services, always providing a professional, reliable, and environmentally friendly service. All this ensures that customers enjoy the peace of mind that we will recycle what they throw away, lowering the cost to our customers and the environment.

  Our household mobile app helps our customers optimise their waste disposal, offering numerous benefits and key features that go beyond simply allowing them to see their bin collection history.

  Barna’s Guide To Sorting All Types of Domestic Waste

  

  Decluttering your home during any season can be a daunting task, especially when you’re not sure how or where to dispose of the different types of domestic waste.
  
  From clearing out the massive mess in the shed, old clutter in the attic, sorting through unused clothing, old blankets, bedding and old books, there is no better time than NOW now to deep clean your home inside and outside.
   
  Experience a seamless and stress-free clear-out with Barna Recycling’s top tips to help you understand what to do with the different types of domestic waste from your home clear-out. 

   

  Understanding the Types of Waste Accumulated at Home

  Efficient waste sorting is key for responsible disposal. It not only streamlines the process but also contributes significantly to environmental conservation.

  General Household Waste

  General household waste spans a broad spectrum, from everyday disposables to non-recyclable plastics. Recognising and categorising this waste is the first step in crafting an effective sorting strategy. If you are struggling to understand what plastics are(n’t) recyclable, you can check out our blog: Steps to Follow when Disposing of Plastic Packaging Waste

  Hazardous Materials

  Hazardous items can hide undiscovered among the many types of domestic waste. These pose a substantial risk to both human health and the environment. Identifying and safely disposing of such materials is imperative during clear-outs. It is always a good idea to cross-reference Barna’s colour bin guide to understand what waste items should be disposed of in your blue, black or brown bins!

  Electronic Waste

  The digital age has given rise to a new challenge – electronic waste. Understanding the components of electronic devices and their potential environmental impact is critical for correct and safe disposal. Read our blog on electronic waste to learn more about responsibly disposing of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

   

  Domestic Waste Disposal Solutions: The 3 C’s

  If you are confused about where to start with your domestic waste disposal and what the correct disposal solutions are, it is useful to create a list that will act as a step-by-step guide to clearing out your home! To better remember the necessary steps for correct waste disposal during your home clean-out, remember to check Barna’s 3 C’s off your list: 1) Colour-coding 2) Civic Amenity Site 3) Compositing

  

  1. Colour-Coding: Make Correct, Responsible Use of The Designated Bins

  Correctly sorting your household disposal and using the designated bins for the different types of domestic waste is the first step to ensure an effective home clear-out. Ensure you separate hazardous materials and electronic waste. 

  Not sure about what goes in Barna’s brown, blue or black bin? See what goes in each Barna Recycling bin.

   

  2. Civic Amenity Sites: Utilise Your Local Recycling Centres

  Collaborating with local recycling centres facilitates the responsible disposal of recyclable materials. Barna Recycling’s purpose-built Civic Amenity Sites can assist you greatly when clearing out your home. With seven civic amenity sites across Connacht, we collect a large variety of non-hazardous and recyclable household waste at a reduced cost.

  Here are some of the benefits of using one of Barna Recycling’s civic amenity sites.

  • They are cost-effective and cheap to use.
  • Accept a wide range of items, including hazardous materials.
  • They are clean, local, and easily accessible.
  • Open on weekends to make them more accessible to all.
  • They are well laid out and marked for each waste material.
  • Cater for small and large deliveries in the exact location.
  • Provide WEEE and Glass Bottle services free of charge.
  • Cater for small and large deliveries in the exact location.

   

  3. Composting: Practise Better Organic Waste Management Habits

  Integrating composting into household waste management significantly reduces the environmental impact of organic waste. Composting not only diverts waste from landfills but also produces nutrient-rich compost for soil enrichment. Check out Barna’s useful blog to guide you through better Ways To Recycle Food Waste.

   

  More on Barna Recycling’s Sites: Types of Domestic Waste We Accept

  

  Old Blankets, Bedding & Mattresses: Some of our civic amenity sites will also accept any type of clothing, footwear and textiles, however, an extra charge will apply for disposing of bedding and mattresses.
   
  Books: As a rule of thumb, books should be placed in the household recycling bin, however, if you have a large volume of old books, phone books, newspapers, and magazines, you can dispose of them at some of our local civic amenity sites.
   
  Electrical Items: You can bring unwanted electrical waste, more commonly known as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), such as Computers, Monitors, Mobile Phones, Electronic Toys, Game consoles, Speakers, Headphones and electrical appliances to your local amenity site to dispose of such items free of charge.

  
  Old Swing Sets & Garden Furniture: If you have an old garden swing or garden furniture still in working condition, you could consider selling it, passing it on to someone else or donating it to local charity shops. If they require disposal because they are no longer fit for purpose, you can bring them to your nearest local civic amenity site. Most wood, metal, and plastic furniture are all widely accepted and recycled at civic amenity sites. Read our blog on bulk waste disposal.

  

  Remember that the household waste byelaws in Ireland oblige every household to use a waste collector or regularly use a civic amenity site or recycling centre.

  Steps to Follow when Disposing of Plastic Packaging Waste

  Irish Waste Data shows that out of the 372,819 tonnes of plastic packaging generated, only 26,048 was recycled in 2021. Ireland is already achieving the 2025 target for glass, wood and ferrous metal, however, the 2025 target for plastic, aluminium and the overall packaging target are far from reach according to the most recent EPA waste data published 24 August, 2023 (reference graph below).

  
  Source: https://www.epa.ie

  At Barna Recycling, we have invested in technological advancements that allow us to sort, recover and dispose of different plastic materials, but the efforts of each household are vital for correctly and efficiently managing the recycling of plastic packaging waste in the country. In this blog, we discuss Barna’s plastic packaging recycling process, as well as answering the many ambiguous and frequent questions about how we properly dispose of plastic in Ireland.

  Can You Recycle Soft Plastic in Ireland?

  Yes, you can! Soft plastic is any type of plastic that you can scrunch in your hand. Good examples of soft plastic are shrink wrap, plastic carrier bags, toilet roll wrappers, plastic bread bags, zip lock bags, and bubble wrap.

  

  A good indicator to identify whether plastic is soft and recyclable is to pull on the plastic to see if it stretches. This means the plastic is not laminated and can be recycled. If the plastic doesn’t stretch this means it’s laminated or coated, indicating it is much more unlikely to be recyclable. These types of plastic are removed during our sorting process and sent for waste to energy recovery. Examples of non-soft plastics are foil-based packaging, netting, polystyrene or foam.
  
  Remember to place your recycling materials loose, clean, and dry into your bin. Please do not place your recycling items in a plastic bag. You can always check What Goes in My Blue Bin if you are unsure of which empty household items can be recycled.

   

  Interesting Facts about Plastic

  • Until 2020, Irish recycling facilities could only process rigid plastics
  • Plastic makes up 90% of the rubbish in our oceans
  • Plastic production uses 8% of the world’s oil production
  • Every ton of plastic recycled saves 30 barrels of crude oil
  • A plastic bag takes 500 years to break down in a landfill
  • Recycling 1 plastic bottle saves the same amount of energy needed to power a 60-Watt light bulb for 6 hours

  Did you know that many items can be made from recycled plastic bottles? From fleece to sleeping bags, backpacks, and dog beds, there are many useful items that can be made from plastic bottles. For example, 25 large plastic soft drink bottles will make 1 Fleece Jacket.

   

  How do we dispose of plastic and is all plastic packaging waste recyclable?

  Smart Waste management company, Sensoneo, have created a very helpful diagram guide for plastic waste management to help with the sorting and correct disposal of the many plastic materials circulating our environment. In the diagram, the categorization of plastics helps us to understand the types of plastics that can be recycled, guiding us to a more sustainable future.
  

  

  Not all plastic is created equal, and it’s important to know what types can be recycled. Look for the recycling symbol, usually found on the bottom of the product, and identify the number inside the symbol. This number corresponds to the type of plastic and will indicate whether or not you can recycle it. One of the main problems of sustainable waste management nowadays is that currently there are seven different common types of plastics in the consumer market:

  1. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET or PETE)
  2. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
  3. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC or Vinyl)
  4. Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
  5. Polypropylene (PP)
  6. Polystyrene (PS or Styrofoam)
  7. Other

  OECD estimates suggest that the number of plastic products and waste will triple by 2060, while the recycling rate will only see a slight increase. On average, the official recycling rate of plastic packaging is reported to be around 10% across the globe, although this exact figure varies from country to country. EPA (2023) records concluded that plastics present a serious challenge in Ireland with only 28 percent of plastic packaging waste having been recycled in 2021 – a figure that was a long way off the 2025 EU target of 50 percent under the Circular Economy and EU Legislation. The majority of Ireland’s plastic packaging waste is still being incinerated.

  What is Ireland doing to improve waste management plastic recycling and proper disposal?

  Ireland’s introduction of the DRS (Deposit Refund System) in 2024 has encouraged a huge effort by the Irish nation to recycle plastic bottles. The Irish DRS scheme is closing the gap between the current average recycling rate of plastic waste in the country and the 2025 EU target of 50%. Return.ie (2024) has published record-breaking figures, counting 300 million plastic bottles and cans returned by Irish consumers between February – July this year.

  

  Ireland’s Deposit Return Scheme

  The great progress made since the DRS launch in Ireland can be demonstrated by the growing figure of drinks containers returned each month:

  • 2m containers February
  • 20m containers in March
  • 51m containers in April
  • 78m containers in May
  • 90 m containers in June
  • 54 m containers in July to date

  If you are living in a country with a functioning DRS and you do not have a chance to deposit the bottle in an RVM (Return Vending Machine), it is still better not to crush it. By leaving it beside the bin or on a picnic bench in a busy park or city for example, there is a high probability that your bottle will help some other people who will redeem it for credit by recycling it in the correct manner.

  How Does Barna’s Waste Management Plastic Recycling Process Work?

  Our recycling process starts with you. Once your plastic waste is placed in the household recycling bin, our collection crew then collect your recycling bins on the designated day and deliver the waste materials to our EPA licensed recycling facility. After your waste materials are delivered to our facility, we apply the following process:

  • Sorting: Recycled items are sorted for processing on our picking line.
  • Selection: The recycled waste is separated into six different categories such as paper, cardboard or hard plastics, glass, aluminium & steel cans.
  • Segregation: Our technology also allows us to segregate soft plastics in this same way with the use of advanced optical sorting equipment.
  • Shipped & Sold: The recyclable plastic & cardboard waste is baled & shipped abroad to be sold and recycled in European (and other) markets, or used by manufacturers and energy plants.

  It’s about time YOU took action to reduce plastic waste in OUR planet!

  The world is waking up to climate change, pollution, and resource depletion challenges. Minimise waste, repurpose items and recycle whenever possible. Small changes can yield significant results.

  Barna’s Moving Day Tips: Disposing of Rubbish When Moving In/Out of Your Student Accommodation

  

  As the summer holidays draw to an end this August, students are getting ready to head back to college and university. At Barna Recycling, we know that moving into rented student accommodation can be a tough task when faced with the disposing of old books, electronic waste disposal and other bulky items from previous years, which are no longer of use to you as you begin the new academic year, modules and subjects. When students break for summer, they often bring back unnecessary items and waste that will never be used again. It’s advisable to do a complete clear-out of your student accommodation before moving out day and before breaking for the summer season. If you did not tackle this task at the time, we definitely recommend sorting through the waste that you brought home at the end of the precious academic year before your upcoming ‘student moving in day’ to avoid more waste accumulation.

  We understand that disposing of rubbish can be confusing, especially for a student who is unsure of the correct disposal methods. To be sure you are disposing of exam papers, disposing of study notes you no longer need and disposing of old books correctly can be daunting. 

  To make your next moving day hassle-free, we have compiled some top tips for students and parents. Barna’s moving day tips will not only help you dispose of your waste properly, but they will also make the process quicker and more efficient, ensuring that you are disposing of rubbish in an eco-friendly, stress-free manner.

   

  What Moving Day Tips can I Refer to When Disposing of my Rubbish?

  When clearing out your rubbish in preparation for moving day, it is difficult to know which waste items would go into your waste bins and what shouldn’t. Ensure you are only moving essential items into your student accommodation so that the task of moving out is made much easier months down the line. Check out our valuable tips for students and parents.

  Barna’s Moving Day Tips For Students

  Disposing of Clothes, Bedding & Mattresses: Any type of old clothing, footwear, textiles (including blankets in unusable condition) can be brought to your local civic amenity sites to be disposed of at a reduced rate. Alternatively, clothes that you no longer want but are still in usable condition, can be given to siblings and friends, brought to a charity shop, or brought to your nearest clothes bank… but do not ‘store’ them in your student accommodation – if you will not be wearing them, dispose of them!

  Electronic Waste Disposal: Electrical waste, more commonly known as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) may include unwanted items such as computers, monitors, mobile phones, game consoles, speakers, headphones… the list goes on for students! Thanks to the ease of access to local civic amenity sites, electronic waste disposal has never been made easier, and you can locate your nearest site HERE.

  Disposing of old books & papers: If you have old college books in good condition, you can donate them to the college library or request the student’s union to sell them on your behalf. Alternatively, you can pass them on to someone who has signed up to do the same course/subject in the upcoming academic year. If the books can’t be reused, you can dispose of old books in your household recycling bin. For large volumes that cannot be reused, you can also dispose of old books & papers at your local civic amenity site, as recommended by MyWaste (2024).

   

  Disposing of Old Books: When to Keep Them, When To Let Go

  At the beginning of an academic year, you may be struggling to decide what books, papers and notes you should keep for the future, and which of these will no longer serve you purpose. Check out the diagram below from Life With Less Mess to help you understand if disposing of old books & papers is the best next course of action to take.

  

  Moving Day Tips: How Parents Can Help?

  Mum or dad – If you are charged with helping your child clear out their waste before beginning a new academic year and moving into their student accommodation on moving day, get ready to practise patience. You both share a common goal when tackling the moving day process…that is for it to be as stress-free as possible! Here’s some of Barna’s Moving day tips to ensure the move is made as easy and as eco-friendly as possible.

  • Facilitate Decisions: Help them to decide what items they want to keep and what needs to be thrown out (referring back to the Life With Less Mess diagram above will be helpful).
  • Separating Rubbish: Have a rubbish bag prepared for general waste and one for recycling.
  • Get Strict: Clarify what your child wants to do with the bulky items first. Are they being dumped or recycled? Bulky items may include bed clothes, stereos, kettles and any other items that would otherwise take up lots of car space and/or space in the family home. This is the time to get strict!
  • Think Green: Encourage your child to recycle or sell on any old books, notes, clothes, electronics or other useful items before the moving in date.
  • Ask The Questions: Many charities often partner with colleges and universities to establish collection points or van pickups, so be sure to put on your parent cap and enquire about such services before beginning the moving day process.
