\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Green Bins<\/strong>
\nAt this time of year, many of us have more recyclable materials than usual.\u00a0 All that wrapping paper and packaging from toys should be recycled too!\u00a0 Because of this, we\u2019ve arranged to allow you to put additional recyclable materials tidily beside your Green Bin once it\u2019s full, and those will be collected too.\u00a0 this service will last until 15th January to ensure you\u2019ve plenty of time to clean up after the festivities!<\/p>\n

Bottle Banks<\/strong>
\nUnmanned bottle banks will remain open over Christmas, and will be emptied on a regular basis.\u00a0 Please remember not to leave rubbish lying around after you\u2019ve put your bottles safely in the bin.\u00a0 Bring the plastic bags or cardboard boxes back home for your Green Bin.<\/p>\n

Bring Centres & Recycling Centres<\/strong>
\nBring Centres, such as Herzog Park on Orwell Road, Rathgar, will have shorter opening hours during the Christmas season.\u00a0 They will be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, St Stephen\u2019s Day, New Year\u2019s Eve and New Year\u2019s Day.\u00a0 On 27th & 28th December, they\u2019ll be open from 10am to 4pm, and on 29th & 30th December, they\u2019ll be open from 9am to 4pm.\u00a0 On January 2nd, they\u2019ll be open from 10am to 4pm, and will then revert to their normal hours.<\/p>\n

Recycling Centres, such as the Pigeon House Road Depot in Ringsend, will be closed on the same days and will otherwise open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 2pm on Saturdays over the Christmas season.<\/p>\n

Christmas Tree Recycling<\/strong>
\nFinally, that will bring us up to December 8th, and it\u2019ll be time to take down the tree.\u00a0 Free Christmas Tree recycling will be available from 2nd to 20th January.\u00a0 Opening hours will be the same as our normal bring centre hours.\u00a0 The locations in our area are:<\/p>\n
