Independent guide for recyclingcentreireland.org. St Margaret’s Recycling is mainly a metal recycling, metal skip, 1100-litre bin and end-of-life vehicle service — not a standard household black/green/brown wheelie-bin collector.
Quick answer for Dublin users
St Margaret’s Recycling & Transfer Centre is a scrap metal and end-of-life vehicle specialist at Sandyhill, St. Margaret’s, Co. Dublin, K67 EW73. The official site lists metal recycling, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, metal skips, 1100-litre bins, end-of-life vehicles and vehicle collection.

Schedule and opening hours
ELVES lists St. Margaret’s Recycling & Transfer Centre opening hours as Monday–Friday 8am–5pm, Saturday 8am–2pm and Sunday closed. Always confirm before visiting with a large load or vehicle paperwork.
For bin service, skip delivery or vehicle collection, the “schedule” is usually arranged directly by phone or call-back, not a public household collection calendar.
St Margaret’s Recycling Opening Hours and Service Schedule 2026
For visitors, the useful schedule is the facility opening hours. For metal bins, metal skips and vehicle collection, the useful schedule is an arranged booking time confirmed with the office.
| Day | Listed facility hours | Best action before travelling or booking |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 8am – 5pm | Call first if bringing a large mixed metal load or vehicle. |
| Tuesday | 8am – 5pm | Good weekday option for weighbridge and office support. |
| Wednesday | 8am – 5pm | Ask about metal skip delivery or 1100L bin service by phone. |
| Thursday | 8am – 5pm | Confirm special loads before arriving close to closing time. |
| Friday | 8am – 5pm | Useful for business clear-outs before the weekend. |
| Saturday | 8am – 2pm | Shorter day. Do not arrive late with a complicated load. |
| Sunday | Closed | Plan for weekday or Saturday service. |
Important: public listings can change. If you need a weighbridge, paperwork, vehicle Certificate of Destruction, metal skip delivery, 1100-litre bin service or business collection, call before relying on hours alone.
St Margaret’s Recycling 1100-Litre Bin Service: What It Means
St Margaret’s Recycling lists 1100-litre bins under its metal recycling services. This is mainly relevant for businesses, sites, workshops, factories, trades, farms, garages and organisations producing scrap metal — not normal household kitchen waste.
| Question | Plain answer | Ask before booking |
|---|---|---|
| Is it for household bins? | No. Treat it as a scrap-metal / commercial-style bin service. | “Do you provide this bin for my type of metal waste?” |
| Is the schedule weekly? | Usually arranged around your site, volume and collection need. | “Can you collect on call, weekly, monthly or when full?” |
| Is weight recorded? | The official page says weights are logged for reports. | “Can I get weights for audit or management reporting?” |
| Can I get disposal paperwork? | The official page says Certificates of Disposal can be provided where necessary. | “Can you issue a certificate for this waste stream?” |
| Do they accept mixed rubbish? | No — check metal-only rules and contamination limits. | “What exactly cannot go into the 1100L bin?” |
Best phone script: “I need an 1100-litre bin for scrap metal at [location]. What metal types can go in, how is it collected, how is weight reported, and what paperwork can you provide?”
Metal Skips and Business Collections: How to Arrange a Pickup
Metal skips are useful when a one-off clear-out or regular site work produces too much scrap metal for a small drop-off. The schedule is not a public bin calendar; it should be arranged with the office or sales team.
Good for
Commercial scrap, site clear-outs, engineering metal, steel, iron, non-ferrous metals and repeated metal waste from a business.
Check before delivery
Access, skip size, surface, loading space, metal type, collection date, contamination rules and whether staff can safely reach the location.
Not for
Electrical goods, fridges, beer kegs, gas cylinders, tyres, mixed domestic rubbish or hazardous items unless St Margaret’s confirms otherwise.
List your metal type
Write down steel, iron, copper, brass, aluminium, stainless steel, cable, machinery or mixed scrap before calling.
Confirm access
Tell them if the site has gates, narrow roads, low wires, parking restrictions, forklifts or limited turning space.
Agree collection schedule
Ask whether the skip or bin is collected on call, by date, by fill level or on a regular arrangement.
Ask for paperwork
If you need audit, project, insurance or management records, ask for weights and disposal paperwork before service starts.
Scrap Metal Recycling: Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals
St Margaret’s Recycling works with commercial and domestic clients for scrap metal recycling. The official site separates metal recycling into ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, metal skips and 1100-litre bins.
| Metal type | Simple meaning | What to do before visiting |
|---|---|---|
| Ferrous metal | Contains iron, such as steel or cast iron. Often magnetic. | Separate from non-ferrous metals if possible. |
| Non-ferrous metal | Metals such as copper, brass, aluminium and stainless materials. | Keep clean and separated for easier assessment. |
| Mixed scrap | Different metal types together. | Call if you have a large mixed load or commercial quantity. |
| Machinery / site metal | Heavy or awkward metal items from sites or businesses. | Describe size, weight, lifting needs and access clearly. |
| Vehicle-related metal | May overlap with end-of-life vehicle rules. | Ask whether it needs ELV paperwork, logbook or ID. |
Simple preparation: remove non-metal contamination where safe, keep sharp metal secure, do not overload a private vehicle, and ask the weighbridge office before unloading if unsure.
End-of-Life Vehicle Disposal and Collection at St Margaret’s Recycling
St Margaret’s Recycling is listed as an Authorised Treatment Facility for end-of-life vehicles. Its official ELV page says vehicle disposal is carried out under Waste Facility Permit FG-13-0002-03 and that vehicle collection is authorised by a Waste Collection Permit.

Choose your situation

Ask this: “Can you provide a 1100L bin for this scrap metal stream, and can you log weights for reporting?”
Items St Margaret’s Recycling Says It Does Not Take
The official metal recycling page states that St Margaret’s Recycling does not take electrical goods, fridges, beer kegs, gas cylinders or tyres. Treat this as a hard warning before you load a van or trailer.
| Item | What to do instead | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical goods | Use WEEE retailer take-back or a WEEE recycling centre. | Electricals need a different recycling route. |
| Fridges | Use approved WEEE / bulky waste route. | Fridges can contain gases and components needing specialist handling. |
| Beer kegs | Return to the owner/supplier route. | Kegs may remain supplier property. |
| Gas cylinders | Return to cylinder supplier or approved disposal route. | Gas cylinders are a serious safety risk in scrap streams. |
| Tyres | Use tyre retailer or approved tyre recycling route. | Tyres are not scrap metal. |
Ruthless check: if your load is “mostly metal” but includes tyres, gas bottles, fridges or electrical goods, it is not ready. Sort it before travelling.

St Margaret’s Recycling Prices, Scrap Metal Rates and Bin Costs
Scrap metal prices and bin/skip costs can change with metal type, market conditions, load quality, contamination, distance, collection method and whether paperwork is required. Do not trust old price screenshots.

|---|---|---|
| Scrap steel / iron rate | Metal market, volume, quality and contamination. | “What is today’s rate for this type and quantity?” |
| Copper / brass / aluminium | Non-ferrous metals usually need clearer sorting. | “Should I separate this before arrival?” |
| Metal skip cost | Distance, size, site access, collection frequency. | “What are delivery, collection and contamination rules?” |
