Electrical recycling day

Virginia will host a recycling day this weekend, which will see the free disposal of many household and office electrical items.

The free European Recycling Platform (ERP) electrical recycling drop off day will take place at Lidl carpark on Friday, September 30, from 10am to 4pm.

Everyone is encouraged to drop off anything with a plug or battery including large electrical appliances, computer equipment and home entertainment devices, small household appliances and everything in between.

Cavan County Council also advised that all used batteries will also be accepted.

In an announcement posted on Facebook, the council said: “Don’t forget to support batteries for Barretstown and bring your used batteries for recycling.”

It is advised that non-electrical items will not be collected.

The recycling event has been organised by Cavan County Council in association with the European Recycling Platform.
