Permits

All waste collectors in Ireland must have a valid waste collection permit to operate legally. A National Waste Collection Permit Office (NWCPO) was established in 2012, its role is to accept and process all new and review Waste Collection Permit applications for all Waste Management Regions in the Republic of Ireland.

The NWCPO website features a list of local waste collectors, each collector will have listed the areas included on their permit from which they will collect. Each listing includes contact details, the waste type permitted to collect, and the collection areas along with the customer charter.
