My Waste Ireland, Ireland’s official waste management guide, has launched 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔. The campaign runs from May 30th to June 7th and continues to raise awareness on best practices for food waste management.

Recycling food waste is directly contributing to Ireland’s transition to a circular economy and this year’s awareness campaign is focused on making sure food waste is sorted correctly, contamination is prevented, and brown bins are presented regularly, without the need to be full.

When food waste is sorted correctly it can be transformed into high-quality compost and renewable energy. That compost has many valuable uses, including enriching soil and supporting healthy plant growth in gardens, landscaping, parks and agriculture.

To maximise the impact of your brown bin, MyWaste and AES Recycling encourages you to focus on these key actions during National Food Waste Recycling Week 2026 and beyond:

𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐲: Always use certified compostable liners in your kitchen caddy for a cleaner, more hygienic experience.

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐎𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧: Don't wait for your brown bin to be completely full. Put it out regularly and on the dates for collection, even if partially full, to maintain a consistent recycling routine and ensure efficiency.

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐕𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Take a moment to double-check items, remove all packaging, and be aware of common 'bin intruders' to keep your brown bin pure.

Did you know - even if most people recycle correctly, a small amount of contamination 𝘤𝘢𝘯 spoil an entire load.

Food residue, grease, liquids, and leftover waste can make recyclable materials unsuitable for processing — meaning they may not be turned into new products, even when placed in the right bin.

The good news? It’s easy to prevent. To help keep recycling effective, always make sure your recyclables are:

🟦Clean
🟦Dry
🟦Loose (not bagged)

A quick rinse and emptying excess liquids can make a big difference, that's recycling made easy.
