Plan Your Dingle Civic Amenity Visit Before Driving to Lispole
Dingle Recycling Centre is the Kerry County Council civic amenity site at Flemingstown, Lispole, east of Dingle town. Kerry County Council currently lists the facility with Eircode V92 HE04.
This page helps you check the normal weekly opening pattern, location, household-only rule, current Eco Sense recycling-bag price, accepted waste streams and the details worth confirming before a paid or unusual load.
Important: Kerry County Council links a dedicated 2026 Dingle charge sheet. Confirm paid waste charges directly before travelling because individual disposal prices can change.
Quick answer
Dingle Civic Amenity Site is at Flemingstown, Lispole, Co. Kerry, approximately 5 km east of Dingle/Daingean Uí Chúis. Use V92 HE04 for the council-listed Eircode.
The centre handles household recycling and waste disposal. It is not a commercial waste facility.
Before loading the car
Separate cardboard, glass, cans, electricals, batteries, oils, textiles, timber, garden material and residual waste. Charges and acceptance can differ by waste stream.
Phone first for a large trailer, C&D material, hazardous household waste or an unusually large single-material load.
Dingle Recycling Centre Opening Hours
The current public Dingle facility listing shows a split-day timetable on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, with a shorter Thursday opening. Monday and Sunday are listed as closed.
| Day | Normal listed hours | What to remember |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Closed | Do not assume another Kerry site follows the same timetable. |
| Tuesday | 8:30am–12:15pm 1:00pm–5:00pm |
There is a midday gap in the current listing. |
| Wednesday | 8:30am–12:15pm 1:00pm–5:00pm |
Avoid arriving during the lunchtime closure. |
| Thursday | 8:30am–1:00pm | Shorter day; go early with a mixed load. |
| Friday | 8:30am–12:15pm 1:00pm–5:00pm |
Check for temporary operational notices before a long journey. |
| Saturday | 8:30am–12:15pm 1:00pm–2:30pm |
Afternoon opening is considerably shorter. |
| Sunday | Closed | Use another day or an appropriate local bring bank. |
Verification note: Kerry County Council’s live waste page links a dedicated 2026 Dingle opening-hours/charges document, but that `.doc` file could not be text-extracted during this research. The timetable above therefore follows the current public facility listing and should be rechecked against the council link or by phone before a bank-holiday or long-distance visit.

Eircode tip: use the council-listed Eircode instead of searching only for “Dingle dump” or “Dingle recycling”. The centre is outside the town itself and mapping results can show slightly different locality descriptions.
Dingle Recycling Centre Charges in 2026
Kerry County Council’s main civic amenity page currently links a specific DINGLE CAS CHARGES 2026 document. Because that Microsoft Word file could not be parsed during this audit, it would be misleading to reproduce a supposedly complete 2026 price table from older material.
One 2026 charge can be independently verified: Kerry’s prepaid Eco Sense mixed-dry-recycling bags cost €12 for a pack of four from January 2026, up from €10 previously.
| Waste / service | Verified position | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Eco Sense bags | €12 for 4 in 2026 | Prepaid mixed dry recycling route used across Kerry civic amenity sites. |
| Waste batteries | Free | Kerry County Council explicitly confirms free battery acceptance. |
| Household WEEE | Confirm current site rule | Dingle is a recognised WEEE collection facility; keep electrical items separate. |
| Residual / black-bag waste | Charge applies | Confirm the current 2026 bag/load price before travelling. |
| Timber / green waste / C&D material | Site-specific charge | Phone first with the quantity and vehicle type. |
| Bulky or unusual load | Verify first | Ask the site for the current acceptance and charge before loading. |
Best way to ask about price: give the item, quantity and vehicle size. “One mattress, two bags and a small trailer of timber” gets a more useful answer than asking only “how much is the dump?”
What Does Dingle Recycling Centre Accept?
EPA licensing and environmental records show that Dingle has handled a broad mix of household recycling streams. Current contractors also service timber, flat glass, green waste and construction-and-demolition waste from the site.
Dry recycling
- Paper and newspapers
- Cardboard
- Mixed dry recyclables
- Plastic bottles
- Steel food cans
- Aluminium cans
- Glass
Electrical and household items
- Waste electrical and electronic equipment
- White goods
- Household batteries
- Car batteries
- Fluorescent tubes
- Textiles
- Scrap metal
Other recorded streams
- Timber
- Green/garden waste
- Flat glass
- Construction and demolition rubble
- Cooking oil
- Waste engine/hydraulic oil
- Some household hazardous waste
Accepted historically does not mean unlimited today. Licensing records describe what the facility is authorised or equipped to handle, but gate rules, quantity limits and charges can change. Confirm paint, hazardous material, large rubble loads and construction-type waste before travelling.
Batteries, Electricals, Timber, Green Waste and Building Material
Batteries
Kerry County Council specifically confirms that all of its recycling centres, including Dingle, accept waste batteries free of charge.
Retailers selling equivalent batteries also have statutory take-back obligations, so a trip to the civic amenity site may not always be necessary.
Electrical equipment
Dingle is recorded as handling WEEE and white goods. Keep electrical items separate from residual waste so staff can direct them to the correct collection area.
Timber and green waste
These waste streams are actively collected from Dingle under Kerry County Council waste-service contracts. Charges or quantity conditions may apply, so phone before bringing a trailer or large garden-clearance load.
Construction and demolition material
The site’s licensed/recorded streams include household C&D rubble. That does not turn the centre into a commercial builders’ waste facility.
Confirm a renovation load before travelling, particularly if it includes plasterboard, insulation, treated material or a large quantity.
Important Rules for Dingle Civic Amenity Site
Householders only
Kerry County Council explicitly states that its civic amenity sites and bring banks are provided solely for householders and not the commercial sector.
A business or trade load should use an authorised commercial waste service.
Separate recycling from waste
Do not arrive with every material mixed together. Separating glass, cardboard, metal, batteries, electricals, oils and chargeable residual waste makes the gate decision clearer.
Hazardous-material caution: do not assume every chemical, asbestos-containing item, farm chemical or unidentified liquid can be left at Dingle simply because household hazardous waste appears in historic site records. Contact the council before transporting hazardous material.
How to Prepare for a Dingle Recycling Centre Visit
Check today’s opening window
Dingle has split opening periods on several days. Avoid arriving during the midday closure or close to Saturday’s earlier finish.
Sort the load at home
Keep free or specialist recycling streams separate from residual waste and materials that may carry disposal charges.
Check the 2026 price for paid material
Use Kerry County Council’s live Dingle charge-sheet link or call the centre. Do not use an old Kerry price leaflet as a current guarantee.
Use V92 HE04 for navigation
The site is in Flemingstown/Lispole rather than central Dingle town.
Keep your receipt
Kerry’s household waste rules require residents to be able to demonstrate that waste is being handled through an authorised collection or disposal route. Retaining disposal receipts is sensible record-keeping.
- Check the day’s opening period.
- Use Eircode V92 HE04.
- Separate batteries and WEEE from ordinary waste.
- Confirm charges for residual, bulky or construction-related waste.
- Do not bring a commercial/trade load.
- Phone before transporting uncertain hazardous materials.
When You May Not Need the Dingle Civic Amenity Site
Glass and cans only
Kerry County Council provides bring banks for glass bottles and jars plus steel/aluminium cans. A nearby bring bank can be simpler than a full civic amenity trip.
Small batteries only
Battery retailers provide free take-back as well as authorised collection points. No purchase is required for certain statutory battery-return routes.
Deposit bottles and cans
If a drinks container carries an eligible Re-turn deposit, use a participating return point so you can reclaim the deposit rather than treating it as ordinary recycling.

Research limitation: Kerry County Council’s live page exposes a dedicated 2026 Dingle charge-sheet link in Microsoft Word format. The file itself could not be text-extracted by the available browser during this audit. For that reason, this guide does not invent or copy an older complete charge table and instead identifies the current independently verified €12 Eco Sense pack price plus the official route for confirming all other 2026 fees.
