Who collects bins in the Galway City Council area?
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.
Your bin day depends on your collector and your route, not the council. Enter your Eircode below, confirm your bin day once, and get a free reminder the night before.
