    Im sure they all have the same policies around the country but here in Donegal they wont accept the styrofoam packaging for example. When I asked how would I get rid of it they told me to break it up and put into the "general waste" wheelie bin.

    Again most Councils will be closed till Jan. 2 but the recycling centres should be open tomorrow and Friday.

    I was under the impression that PIR/PUR boards are not recyclable, while you may find a dump to take them, that's where the stuff will stay - in the dump..

    Has anyone else had any updated experience on this? I have a fair bit of waste to get rid of and I doubt the local recycling centre will take it all?
