    afaik you have to bring them back to supplier or recycle at a recycling centre, some place like Mungret. Also, afaik, if you just have electrical goods for recycling in Mungret you wont be charged the entrance fee.

    Cards,

    You could put them in the wheelie bin but you should really bring them to mungret. Its free as pshan said.

    Anything electrical is free, there is a charge for other waste. I brought an old computer down and the guy said I could dispose of the computer for free but If I wanted to dispose of the cardboard box it was in it would be €10. He then checked the boot on the way out to make sure I still had the box.

    Theres a place in Rhebogue, just past the Musgrave Cash and carry (RHS) that takes electric recyclables too in case that side of town suits better.

    There's a WEE depot on the Ballysimon/Tipperary road (not sure which its called these days). Its part of Hegartys waste management.

    No its just next to Musgraves. As your are looking at the door of musgraves it on your left. You cant miss it for the amount of recycling bins in the compound and the big sign saying Limerick City Recycling Compound. :D

    Is it free to dispose of electrical goods there too? I remember being there 2 years ago but can't remember if I got charged. Unless someone wants to buy an old surround sound system that works but is ****e and an actucal video player. Don't know why I still have a video player.
