Waste Collection Permits

Cork County Council's Environment Department manages the application process for Waste Collection Permits.

There are a number of private collectors operating throughout Cork County collecting household, commercial, industrial and other wastes. Many collectors provide both collections for disposal and separate kerbside collections for recycling.

Cork County Council regulates such collectors by means of the Waste Collection Permit Regulations, introduced in 2001. The Council encourages members of the public to check that their collectors have a permit, in order to avoid committing an offence.
