WE ALL KNOW that cardboard, paper and hard plastic go in the green bin and food waste goes in the brown bin, but what’s the correct way to dispose of electrical waste?
It might be tempting to throw old batteries or broken electrical appliances into the black bin and hope for the best, but there are quite a few reasons why you shouldn’t.
Firstly, incorrectly disposing of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) causes damage to our planet. It’s a waste of important resources – like glass, plastic or metals – which could be used again, and it’s dangerous (waste batteries may still contain energy which can cause battery-related fires if they are improperly disposed of).
Plus, when electrical waste is improperly disposed of, it can release hazardous material which can impact on human health and our environment.
Recycling WEEE and waste batteries correctly is free and easy – and means you’re playing your part in helping our environment.
So, just how much do you know about recycling electrical waste? Take our quiz below to find out…
Binning is sinning – Binning of WEEE into black bins is causing damage to our planet. Recycle your old and broken electrical items, bulbs and batteries for free at your local authority recycling centre or nearest recycling retailer. Find your nearest WEEE Ireland recycling point here.

That’s not a rifle image that’s a shotgun.
Do you really think the people in journal .ie would know what a rifel looks like ………..
Rifle
I think I will send a picture of a tank to the journal.ie ……… Tomorrow’s headlines ….. YELLOW SUBMARINE found in ireland …… Beatles no one suspects
hahahahah while it was the first thing i thought when i seen the picture i just know someone would say it !! still cant decide though are you just being pedantic or are you right to say it
yes but it’s an ASSAULT shotgun.
Well the way D.O.J and the gardai want to reform the gun laws you might be right!!!!
Haha that’s a shotgun lads, change it. Gun laws in this country are so stupid. Let the man have his rifle ffs.
Well it depends on the rifle. A sporting rifle can be legally held but nobody needs an AK47!
The problem is it wasn’t his riffle. This guy is part of a gang that was targeting elderly people living on their own, breaking into their homes and robbing them. The gun that was recovered belonged to a 77 year old man whom they tied up and beat. They stole the firearm from his home along with a sum of money.
From Donegal Daily
BREAKING NEWS: A MAN has been arrested and a firearm seized during a Garda operation this evening.
A Garda spokesman confirmed to Donegal Daily that the man arrested was detained after a search of a house in Ballyshannon.
The suspect is in his 40s.
A rifle was recovered during the search which came just days after a weapon was taken during an incident in Glenties where a 77-year-old man was battered and robbed by a vicious gang of burglars.
“A male aged in his 40s was arrested at the scene. He is currently detained under Section 30 of the Offences against the State Act, 1939, at Ballyshannon Garda Station,” said a spokesman.
James,
If this turns out to be true, it’s great news! That gang have been praying on elderly and vulnerable people in the north west for too long. I wonder was it anything with the €10,000 offered for information. Either way, lets hope these animals get sentences fitting their crimes!
Dr Rory used to shoot with the gentry
So he should have used it on them
Who says an AK47 can’t be a sporting rifle?
@Massimo The €10,000 might have something to do with it.
The above incident happened in Glenties, it used to be a Garda District Headquarters with a station that was manned 24/7
Shatter has since dissolved the district (Which was the largest in Co. Donegal) and split the policing of it between Ballyshannon and Milford. Both of which are nearly an hour away from Glenties.
It goes to show how crime levels will rise when cuts are implemented in Policing.
Tomorrows news: gardai to give back shotgun mistaken for rifle
Mistaken identity again
Shoot him with it.. Maybe he’ll think twice about having a gun in the first place!
I’d be getting my rifle images from another website if I were you.
Why didn’t we give that hellhole to the Brits when we were have that social clear out years ago. Donegal is a waste of space
“Youknowimright”, is your surname “Offmyfeckingtrolly” ?????
@youknowinright You have just shown how intellectually inferior you are to everyone else, probably on this planet.
That is the most ignorant, uninformed comment I have ever seen.
Everyone here is now a bit dumber for reading it.
Now go collect your dole and pick up your cans of Dutch Gold you waster.
have your say
