City Council to recycle water bottles for free.
From Galway Water Crisis:
FREE RECYCLING OF WATER BOTTLES WILL BE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY. Just put them in clear plastic bags and put them out at your normal day/time. This was announced at the 23 April meeting of the City Council in a letter to the councillors from the manager.
Here is an excerpt of the city manager’s letter:
This issue of disposing of the bottles is primarily bulk and not weight. The best advice is to squash the bottles after removing the caps. This allows a reduction in bulk in the green bin and also allows the refuse freighter to compact the bottles more efficiently.
The following measures are being put into place:
(i) Bottles which are put in clear bags will be collected with green bins as per normal collection dates. It is important that water bottles are not mixed up with other waste to facilitate recycling. Free clear bags will be made available from the Environment Department, City Hall, on request.
(ii) A container will be available in Sandy Road Depot from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturday to facilitate this collection of plastic bottles.
Also let me give a plug to the Galway Wants Water forum, which has been set up to give Galwegians a voice in the current crisis.
Beleagured Galway Mayor gets even more beleaguered…

Galway Mayor’s Youth Conference
Just back from the Mayor’s Youth Conference in the Galway Bay Hotel. I was doing my conference cartoons based on the responses to the themes of the conference: mental health, transport and anti-racism. There were 300 young delegates from all over Galway and it always amazes me how articulate and confident many kids are today (at 32 I’m old enough to be of the speak-when-spoken-to generation!)
I got some good images and I should have them up next week.
I’m also doing caricatures for the Mayor’s Ball in the Galway Bay Hotel this Saturday 29th April. I’m doing it gratis and I’ll be collecting donations for the charities for each one I do. If you’re going come over to me and get a lovely caricature!
