    Check out www.dublinwaste.ie for a list of recycling centres. You can search by type of material you are trying to recycle.

    the centre on sandymount strand take all type of plastic. this is because 1. there's no one there to police it 2. there's no guidance on what types it takes. even an optimistic view would be that they're just dumping it all as i'd say half of it's contaminated with food.

    the centre in ringsend won't take any plastic that has come into contact with food, even if you've washed it out, and will only take types 1,2 and 4. i asked the guy straight what this left as most of the plastic i have to recycle is from food wrapping and he said bluntly 'not much'. it's because they sell on the plastic and the people who buy it are very particular...

    the positive aspect is that i'm more aware of things wrapped in plastic and tend to go for the loose veggies where i can...
