About 69% of Irish homes already have a brown bin, and those who haven't been able to utilise the service yet are encouraged to schedule one by contacting their garbage collection.
Food trash (raw and cooked meat, fish, vegetable and fruit peelings, paper napkins, pizza boxes, and lawn clippings) can all be disposed of in brown bins.
MyWaste.ie spokesperson Pauline McDonagh stated on RTÉ's Morning Ireland that the legislation will be changed to “ensure that all households, no matter where they are across the country will have access to the service.” Previously, the service has primarily been available in urban areas.
The rollout of the project, according to her, will take some time, but garbage collectors across “are all mobilising to get ready to provide the service.”
According to Ms. McDonagh, individuals may improve their recycling rates by correctly sorting their organic trash.
“We can correctly process this domestic organic waste which consists of food scraps and light garden waste - when we collect it. What should we do with the cooked food if we are home composting as it is evident that we cannot put it in our composter?”
Cooked food may be converted into compost or even power if it is placed in a brown bin instead of the usual rubbish bin, according to the speaker.
Although the cost of the service may be higher for the homes, Ms. McDonagh claimed that more household goods may be recycled thanks to the three-bin pickup.
