Recycling News

South Dublin County Council and Recylce IT would like to sincerely thank everyone who took part in this year’s mattress recycling amnesty. The free mattress recycling initiative has now officially finished for 2025.

Over the years and during the course of the initiative, thousands of old and unwanted mattresses were dropped off and collected in the community for recycling, helping households clear space while ensuring bulky waste was kept out of landfill. Your participation made a real difference for both the community and the environment.

Although the free mattress recycling amnesty has ended, we encourage residents to continue recycling responsibly and to explore other available recycling services throughout the year. Together, small actions add up to big impact.

The Recycle IT team thanks everyone who recycled mattresses this year. Your efforts helped protect the environment, reduce waste, and support our community. Together, we’ve made a real difference—thank you for recycling responsibly, supporting local employment and creating training opportunities.
