    All the plastic bring banks were removed back at the end of June I think. Madness, I know!

    Only place to go is Mungret recycling centre I'd say.

    Five euro for the pleasure!

    The plastic bottle banks were never supposed to be used for bubble wrap.

    Have you asked any of the charity shops if they want it?
    If it's in decent sizes and of reasonable condition, they might find it useful for wrapping stuff that might break easily (e.g. crockery, ornaments, etc).
    Or if you know anyone who sells stuff on eBay or the like, they might use it.

    It's always much better to re-use as much as possible before recycling.

    Try O'Mahony's Booksellers in OConnell St, they always use bubble wrap

    Can't that go in the recycling wheelie bin? Presuming it's clean enough. Other than that, Mungret.

    If you're going to Mungret you should try and fill the car with whatever you have that is recycleable as it's the same price regardless of quantity.
