Bin collections in city centre

Spon Farmer

I’ve been in Galway the last few Sundays and the Monday after Easter very early and there has rubbish collection trucks every time.

Is it like that every morning in the city centre or is is just the collect after a Saturday night?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen refuse collections on a weekend except at Christmas.

Every day, except Christmas Day.

The sweeping machines go thru between 5-7am. Bin lorries after that. And deliveries.

I’ve lived in much bigger cities and never known it to be like that.

is it because of pubs and clubs?

Mrs OBumble

The economy in the wider Galway city area is based on medical devices.

The economy in Galway city centre is based on party central. The craic is mighty. So is the rubbish.

Spon Farmer

Are the bin trucks finished collections on weekdays by the time the shops open?

They're usually done around that point but at times, with traffic, they're still knocking around.

I’ve been out in Galway at night. As in out out.

I knew it had a popular nightlife but not like that.

They've done the main collection. But some seem yo do an extra pass looking for bin bags in the side streets a bit later.
