Households in County Mayo can recycle their batteries for free in any local shops where batteries are sold. Shops selling batteries are now required to accept waste batteries - similar to those they stock - without charge or requiring a purchase. In 2008, the Battery Regulations were introduced to ensure that spent portable batteries are separated from normal waste so that they can be recycled.

Reduce, reuse, recycle — we've all heard the slogan by now. Are we aware of the importance of the message that slogan carries? Are we taking it seriously and doing anything about it? As there is not much room in the current landfills, we have to be very strict in what we can comfortably allow into them. In a way, it might be considered a good thing, as it should make people alert and more concerned about waste, making them think of it from an environmental point of view. But does it?

Claremorris is in line for a civic amenity centre where the public can bring recyclable goods but not domestic waste.
