Trim Recycling Centre Charges: Entry Fee, Black Bags, Green Waste and Bulky Items
Oxigen’s Trim page lists an entry gate fee of €2. It also lists charges for black bags, green waste, oils, paint cans, mattresses, couches, carpets, rugs, toys, bathroom items and several van/trailer categories. Treat all prices as “check before travel” because public site charges can change.
| Item / load type | Charge shown on official page | What to confirm | Mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry gate fee | €2 | Applies per customer/vehicle visit. | Do not assume it covers charged waste. |
| Black bag / non-recyclable goods | €5 per bag | Ask if the bag contains mixed material. | Do not mix recyclables into black bags. |
| Waste oil / cooking oil | €1 per litre | Bring sealed, manageable containers. | Do not spill or mix oils. |
| Household paint cans | €1 each | Ask about quantity and condition. | Do not hide paint in general waste. |
| Green waste car load | Gate fee only for 2 bags weekly, extra bags charged | Keep grass and hedge clippings free from clay, stones and plastic. | Do not bring mixed garden rubble as green waste. |
| Mattress / couch / carpet / rug | Item charges apply | Phone first with the exact item size. | Do not arrive late with bulky items. |
| Vans and larger trailers | Higher charges apply | Confirm vehicle/load category before travel. | Do not assume car pricing applies to vans. |
Simple money rule: the €2 gate fee is not a “dump everything” charge. Bulky, non-recyclable, green-waste, oil, paint, van and trailer loads can cost extra.

Before Visiting Trim Recycling Centre: Senior-Friendly Checklist
This checklist is for Trim households, older residents, carers, tenants, landlords and families doing a shed, garden, attic or garage clear-out.
Sort at home
Separate cardboard, paper, glass, tins, batteries, WEEE, clothes, scrap metal, garden waste, black bags and bulky items before you leave.
Check if it has a charge
Mattresses, couches, carpet, green waste, oils, paint cans, non-recyclable bags, vans and trailers may cost more than the gate fee.
Bring payment
Expect the entry gate fee and any item-specific charges. Phone first if you are unsure about payment method or load category.
Go early for big loads
Do not arrive near 4:45pm with a trailer, bulky waste, furniture, green waste or multiple bags.
Ask staff before unloading
If the item is unusual, hazardous, sharp, heavy or mixed with other material, ask staff where it should go.
Do not dump outside the gate. Leaving items at the entrance when the centre is closed can cause litter, safety and enforcement problems.
Trim Recycling Centre Bulky Waste: Mattresses, Couches, Carpet, Rugs and Large Items
Trim Recycling Centre accepts bulky household items with charges applying. The official page lists prices for king, double and single mattresses, divan beds, couches, carpet/lino rolls, rugs, chairs, patio furniture, toys, bathroom items and domestic food waste.
| Bulky item | Charge shown | Before you go | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| King size mattress | €30 | Confirm price and handling before travel. | Arriving near closing time. |
| Double mattress | €20 | Ask about topper or duvet separately. | Thinking topper is included. |

| Large carpet / lino roll | €25 | Roll and secure it safely. | Mixing with other rubbish. |
| Large plastic toy | €5 | Remove batteries first. | Putting battery toys in general waste. |
Practical rule: if the item takes two people to lift, phone first. Prices above are useful guidance, but the site decides based on item type and current rules.
Trim Recycling Centre Green Waste Charges: Grass, Hedge Clippings, Branches and Shrubs
The Trim page lists green waste charges for household loads, including grass, trees, branches and shrubs. Green waste must be clean. Clay, stones, plastic bags, rubble and household waste can cause problems.

| 2 bags of greens in a car | Gate fee only once weekly; extra bags charged | Keep bags free from soil, stones and plastic. |
| Single axle trailer | €10 + €2 gate fee | Confirm trailer size before travel. |
| Double axle trailer | €20 + €2 gate fee | Check if larger trailer rules apply. |

Garden warning: green waste is not the same as garden clear-out rubbish. Keep it to natural plant material unless staff confirm otherwise.
