Plan Your Thorntons Dunboyne Bin Day Without Missing the Centre, Price List or Calendar
Thorntons Dunboyne is useful for two different jobs: household bin collection schedules and visits to the Dunboyne Civic Amenity Centre. Mixing those two up is how people waste time, miss collections or arrive with the wrong waste.
This guide separates the service clearly: where to check today’s Thorntons bin collection, how to use the recycling app and calendar, when the Dunboyne centre opens, what the official price-list PDF says, and what to ask before you travel.
Use the official Thorntons account portal for your live collection calendar. Use the civic amenity page and price-list PDF before loading the car for Dunboyne.
Quick answer for Dunboyne residents
Thorntons lists Dunboyne under its Meath household service area, but your exact collection day still depends on your customer number, PIN and route. For “Thorntons bin collection schedule today,” do not guess from a neighbour’s bin; log in and check the live account calendar.
For “Dunboyne recycling centre opening times” or the “Dunboyne recycling centre price list PDF,” use the civic amenity page instead. That is the visit-and-drop-off side of the service.
Best one-minute phone script
Say this: “I’m in Dunboyne. Do I need household bin support, or am I calling about the Civic Amenity Centre at A86 X446?”
For the Dunboyne centre, ask for Option 1 if prompted. For bin collection calendars, have your customer number and PIN ready before calling.
Thorntons Bin Collection Schedule Today: Check the Account Calendar First
If you are trying to find out whether your Thorntons bin is due today in Dunboyne, the fastest reliable check is the Thorntons account login or app. Collection days vary by address, route, customer account and sometimes service updates.
Do not use bins on the street as your only guide. A neighbour may be on a different plan, different side of a route, different bin cycle, or may simply have put the wrong bin out.
Log in before you put the bin out
Use your customer number and PIN to check the Thorntons Recycling calendar for 2026. This is more reliable than screenshots or old PDF schedules.
Check which bin is due
Confirm whether general waste, recycling or brown/organic collection is showing for your route. Wrong-bin presentation can look like a missed collection.
Put the bin out where the truck can see it
For Dunboyne estates, cul-de-sacs and narrow roads, keep the bin visible, lid closed and away from parked cars or locked gates.
Use the app for reminders
The Thorntons Recycling app is useful for calendar checks, top-ups, contact and skip hire. Set a routine so you are not checking in a panic on collection morning.
Dunboyne Recycling Centre Opening Times and Local Visit Rules
The Thorntons Dunboyne Civic Amenity Centre is listed at Dunboyne Industrial Estate, Dunboyne, Co. Meath, A86 X446. Its stated opening times are Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm and Saturday from 9am to 2pm.
The centre is listed as closed on Sunday and bank holidays. Do not arrive close to closing time with a mixed boot of waste, because sorting, payment and unloading can take longer than expected.
| Visit detail | Official information | Practical Dunboyne tip |
|---|---|---|
| Address | Dunboyne Industrial Estate, Dunboyne, Co. Meath, A86 X446 | Use the Eircode in maps rather than only “Thorntons Dunboyne”. |
| Monday to Friday | 9am to 4pm | Morning visits are usually safer if you have several waste types to unload. |
| Saturday | 9am to 2pm | Expect more weekend traffic; sort items at home before you leave. |
| Closed | Sunday and bank holidays | Check before long weekends, especially if clearing a house, shed or garden. |
| Phone | 01 623 5133 Option 1 | Ask if your item is accepted before loading bulky or hazardous material. |
Dunboyne Recycling Centre Price List: What the 2026 PDF Means Before You Load the Car
The official Dunboyne Civic Amenity Centre price-list PDF is dated 01/05/2026. It shows both vehicle/item charges and weight-based charges, so the price can depend on what you bring and how it is measured.
Important: do not treat an old screenshot as the current price. Use the live official PDF or call the centre if you are bringing a van, trailer, mattress, rubble, timber, plasterboard or mixed load.
| Charge type | Official PDF price | Plain-English meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Car | €25 | Useful for a normal small domestic drop-off, but still sort your items. |
| Estate / small van / jeep | €50 | Higher charge because the vehicle can carry more material. |
| Medium van | €125 | Call first if the load is commercial-looking or mixed. |
| Bag of general waste | €6 | Use only for accepted general waste; do not include hazardous items. |
| Bag of recycling waste | €3 | Best when material is clean, dry and already separated. |
| Car tyres | €5 | Ask if there is any limit before bringing multiple tyres. |
| Aerosol | €0.50 per can | Additional charge applies according to the PDF. |
| Shredding | €5 per bag | Keep personal documents together and ask how they are handled. |
| Single mattress | €25 | Do not tie it to other waste if it needs separate handling. |
| Double mattress | €35 | Call ahead if bringing multiple bulky items. |
Green waste and weight-based charges
Some loads are charged by vehicle or item, while others are charged by weight. Oversize vehicles or trailers may be charged by weight, so a “quick garden clear-out” can cost more if it becomes a heavy mixed load.
| Waste stream | Official PDF price | Before you arrive |
|---|---|---|
| Green waste car | €10 | Keep soil, stones and rubble out of garden waste. |
| Green waste transit van | €70 | Flatten branches and avoid mixed bags. |
| Green waste large van | €80 | Call if you are unsure whether it will be weighed. |
| Single axle trailer | €30 | Do not overload or mix with construction waste. |
| Double axle trailer | €50 | Oversize loads may be charged by weight. |
| General waste | €0.28 per kg | Remove recyclable material first to reduce cost pressure. |
| Mixed dry recycling | €0.17 per kg | Keep it clean and dry. |
| Green waste | €0.18 per kg | Separate from soil and stone. |
| Rubble, bricks, tiles | €0.10 per kg | Bring separately and ask about heavy-load handling. |
| Plasterboard | €0.23 per kg | Keep separate from ordinary rubble. |

What Dunboyne Recycling Centre Accepts and What You Should Not Bring
The official price-list PDF says the Dunboyne centre accepts several domestic material groups, including recyclables, selected hazardous items, WEEE/electrical items and other bulky or construction-related items.
Recyclables
Paper, newspaper, cardboard, plastic bottles, plastic packaging, Tetra Pak cartons, aluminium cans, steel cans, glass, books and clothes are listed in the PDF.
Electrical and WEEE
Computer hard drives, white goods, brown goods, small electrical items and mobile phones are listed. The PDF also says electrical and WEEE disposal is free.
Other bulky items
Flat glass, bulky waste such as mattresses and furniture, wood, construction and demolition rubble, green waste, soil and stone are listed.
Do not bring: the official PDF says gas cylinders, asbestos and contaminated soils are not accepted. Call first if you are unsure about paint, chemicals, fuel containers, medical waste or mixed construction material.
Local tip: sort the boot at home: cardboard together, WEEE together, green waste separate, rubble separate, mattress separate. Arriving with one mixed pile usually slows you down and can make charges harder to understand.
Thorntons Recycling App: Calendar, Top-Up, Contact and Skip Hire
The Thorntons Recycling app is built for domestic waste service customers. It can be used to make payments, top up an account, view bin collection calendars, contact Thorntons and hire a skip at discounted rates.
| App task | Why Dunboyne users need it | Practical check |
|---|---|---|
| View calendar | Helps confirm whether today is a Thorntons bin collection day. | Check before putting the wrong bin out. |
| Top up / payment | Account payment issues can affect service. | Check balance before collection day, not after a missed lift. |
| Contact Thorntons | Useful for missed bins, account questions or support. | Have your account number, address and Eircode ready. |
| Hire a skip | Better for large clear-outs than forcing bulky waste into bins. | Compare skip hire against a Dunboyne centre trip. |

Dunboyne Insider Tips Before You Use Thorntons Recycling
Dunboyne is close to Dublin commuter routes, so timing matters. A small bit of preparation can save a wasted journey, especially on Saturdays or before bank-holiday weekends.
Sort before you leave
Keep cardboard, WEEE, green waste, rubble and bulky items separate. The centre is easier to use when you do not have to sort at the bay.
Check the vehicle type
A car, estate car, jeep, van or trailer may fall under different charges. Do not assume a small van will be charged like a car.
Use the right service
For one mattress or a few bags, the centre may work. For house clear-outs, a skip or bulky-waste plan may be less stressful.
