Collection days, licensed providers, and free night-before reminders
Galway City Council doesn't run bin collections — the City Bin Co (founded in Galway) and Barna Recycling collect most household waste in the city. Routes in Salthill, Knocknacarra and the east side run on different days, and both operators publish customer calendars.
Because collection is provider-based, your bin day depends on your route — not the council. Enter your Eircode below to see your schedule and get a free reminder the night before every collection.
