Nowhere will take broken crockery, you'll have to put them in the grey bin for landfill.

However, if you have pots in your garden and are planting them up with winter plants? Put the broken crockery in the bottom of the pots and they're great for drainage!

If any of the crockery intact, the charity shops will take mismatched items:
Simon Shop, Sea Road, Galway

Vincent de Paul Shop, Merchants Road, Galway

Enable Ireland Shop, High Street, Galway
