Quick answer for Edenderry households
The centre is on Dublin Road, Edenderry, Co. Offaly, R45 RR72. MyWaste lists it as a civic amenity/recycling centre, free electrical and battery drop-off and lightbulb drop-off point.
Oxigen, which lists Edenderry among the Offaly civic amenity sites it manages, currently publishes an admission fee of €3 for a car and €5 for a car/van/jeep plus trailer.
Before loading the car
If you are bringing a trailer, commercial-type load or material that does not appear on the site’s current accepted list, phone first rather than relying on an old price list.
Edenderry Recycling Centre Opening Hours
Both the current Oxigen facility page and MyWaste list the centre as open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm. Bank holidays are closed, and Offaly information also identifies Sunday as closed.
| Day | Listed hours | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 9am–5pm | Normal opening. |
| Tuesday | 9am–5pm | Separate recyclables before arrival. |
| Wednesday | 9am–5pm | Phone first for an unusual load. |
| Thursday | 9am–5pm | Normal opening. |
| Friday | 9am–5pm | Allow enough unloading time before closing. |
| Saturday | 9am–5pm | Sort a full car or trailer at home first. |
| Sunday | Closed | Use Monday–Saturday. |
| Bank holidays | Closed | Check special seasonal notices before travelling. |
Do not treat 5pm as an arrival target. If your vehicle contains several material streams, arrive earlier so there is enough time to ask staff where each item belongs and unload safely.
Edenderry Recycling Centre Address and Eircode
MyWaste lists the facility at Dublin Road, Edenderry, Co. Offaly, R45 RR72. Offaly County Council planning documentation also identifies the town’s recycling centre as being on Dublin Road.
Sat-nav: use R45 RR72 rather than relying only on a generic “recycling centre near Edenderry” map result.
Edenderry Recycling Centre Charges
Oxigen’s current Edenderry page publishes a simple admission structure for ordinary visits. Some single-stream recycling visits are explicitly free.
| Visit / vehicle | Published charge | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Car | €3 | Current published car admission charge. |
| Car / van / jeep plus trailer | €5 | Published admission for a vehicle with a trailer; call for unusual or commercial-type loads. |
| WEEE only | Free | Electrical and electronic waste only. |
| Glass bottles only | Free | A glass-only drop-off is listed as free. |
| Batteries only | Free | A battery-only recycling visit is listed as free. |
Useful distinction: “free recycling” does not mean every visit or every load is free. Oxigen separately publishes €3 and €5 admission charges while identifying WEEE-only, glass-only and battery-only visits as free.
Commercial price warning: the commercial green-waste table displayed on the operator page is explicitly dated 20 October 2021. It should not be treated as a guaranteed current 2026 price list. Phone the site before bringing commercial green waste, a large van or an oversized trailer.
What Edenderry Recycling Centre Accepts
The operator currently lists the following materials for recycling at Edenderry. Keep different streams separate in the boot or trailer rather than arriving with one mixed pile.
Glass bottles are accepted, and a glass-bottles-only visit is currently listed as free.
Plastic bottles are listed among accepted recycling. Check the Re-turn logo first on drinks bottles so you do not give up a refundable deposit unnecessarily.
Plastic packaging is on the operator’s current accepted-material list. Keep it reasonably clean and separate.
Cardboard is accepted. Flattening large boxes makes the vehicle easier to unload.
Newspapers and glossy magazines are both specifically listed.
Both can types are accepted. For eligible drinks cans carrying the Re-turn logo, use a participating return point if you want your deposit refunded.
Waste electrical and electronic equipment is accepted, with a WEEE-only drop-off listed as free.
Cartons such as appropriate food and drink cartons are included in the operator’s recycling list.
Waste oil is listed as accepted. Keep it safely contained and ask staff where it should be deposited.
Fluorescent tubes are accepted. Carry them carefully so they are not broken in the vehicle.
Clothing and footwear are listed as accepted recycling streams. Keep usable textiles clean and dry.
MyWaste identifies Edenderry as a free battery drop-off, and the operator lists battery-only admission as free.
Do not extrapolate from this list. Paint, rubble, mattresses, tyres, gas cylinders, furniture, construction waste or other unusual items are not confirmed by the current Edenderry recycling list above. Call before loading them.
Check Re-turn Before Dropping Off Drinks Bottles or Cans
Edenderry accepts plastic bottles and aluminium or steel cans for recycling, but Ireland’s Deposit Return Scheme changes the best route for eligible drinks containers.
PET plastic drinks bottles and aluminium or steel drinks cans from 150ml to 3 litres that are in scope for Re-turn can be taken back through participating retailers. Eligible empty, undamaged containers can return the deposit you paid.
Simple rule: if the container carries the Re-turn logo and you want the deposit back, use an eligible retailer return point rather than placing it in ordinary recycling at the centre.
How to Prepare for an Edenderry Recycling Centre Visit
List what you are bringing
Separate ordinary recyclables from electricals, batteries, oils, textiles and anything unusual.
Work out whether an admission charge applies
A normal car is currently listed at €3 and a car/van/jeep with trailer at €5. WEEE-only, glass-only and battery-only visits are listed as free.
Keep free streams separate
If your trip is specifically for WEEE, glass bottles or batteries, keeping that load separate makes it easier for staff to identify the visit correctly.
Phone for anything not clearly listed
Use 046 977 2677 before loading bulky, hazardous, construction-style or commercial material.
Arrive with time to unload
Normal closing is 5pm. A previously published Offaly notice has also used a strict last-car time of 4:50pm, so arriving well before closing is the safer choice.
Items Worth Checking Before You Bring Them
The current Edenderry operator page gives a clear recycling list, but it does not provide a current consumer price or acceptance rule for every possible household item.
Do not assume hazardous household materials are accepted at every Offaly site. Check the exact facility first.
These are not part of the current Edenderry recycling list shown by Oxigen. Phone before loading them.
Construction-style material can have different restrictions and charges. Verify the correct Offaly site before travelling.
The operator page shows an old commercial green-waste price schedule, but because it is dated 2021, current acceptance and cost should be confirmed directly.
The €5 published admission does not establish the total disposal cost of every large load. Describe the vehicle and material when you call.
Business loads can be charged differently from normal household recycling. Ask for current commercial rules before leaving your premises.
Useful phone script: “I’m coming to Edenderry Recycling Centre with a [car/van/trailer] containing [exact materials]. Is everything accepted today, and what will the total charge be?”
Edenderry Recycling Centre Phone Number
The site phone number published by MyWaste, ERP Ireland and Offaly material is 046 977 2677.
Use the site number when you need to confirm an unusual item, trailer load, current charge, seasonal opening change or anything not clearly included on the operator’s recycling list.
Find Another Recycling Route if Edenderry Is Not Suitable
Offaly also has civic amenity sites at Birr and Derryclure. Do not assume those sites accept the same materials or charge the same prices; check the destination before travelling.
If you only need to find another nearby recycling point, use MyWaste or the site’s national recycling-centre guide to identify the correct facility type first.
