Provision of a Farm Hazardous Waste Collection Service at Various Locations across the country in 2025

Description

The Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine (DAFM) and the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment (DCEE) in conjunction with stakeholders are working on actioning a recommendation of the EPA’s National Hazardous Waste Management Plans (NHWMP) 2021- 2027 namely to develop a plan for a suitable national collection and transfer scheme for farm hazardous wastes. Following an initial trial run in 2024 where 3 farm hazardous waste collection days took place, DAFM in conjunction with DCEE and stakeholders plan to extend the trial collection days to approximately 6 in 2025 at different locations around the country in order to inform best options for further farm hazardous waste management.
