Council. The collection day will take place in the following locations from 10 am to 4pm only:

Over 42 tonnes of electrical waste was collected at WEEE collection days in North Tipperary in 2010.
WEEE are hoping that the people of Roscrea, Templemore, Thurles and beyond will make a great
effort to beat this figure and continue to keep Tipperary free from electrical waste.
Anything in the home with a battery or a plug can be recycled at this Saturday’s collection day.
Waste collection specialists from WEEE Ireland will be there on the day to help you send your
toasters, vacuum cleaners, fridges and every other electrical item imaginable to a better place.
As a consumer of electrical items, you are entitled to bring your waste electrical equipment to your
electrical retailer when purchasing an item of similar type, i.e. on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis.
Waste batteries can be brought back to any battery retailer that sells similar batteries, even if you
don’t purchase anything. All WEEE and waste batteries can also be brought to your local civic
amenity site free of charge.
