The majority of householders in Dublin have a grey or black wheelie bin which should as much as possible be used for disposing of your residual household waste i.e. the leftover waste that cannot be put in your green bin, brown bin, home compost bin, or those materials that cannot be recycled at your local bring bank or recycling centre. 

Similarly household hazardous materials should not be disposed of in your grey or black bin but recycled through the Chemcar collection scheme or at a local recycling centre.

Collection calendars for households in the Dublin City Council region can be downloaded HERE . Simply type in your address to find your collection day.
