Allied Recycling: waste management and recycling in Ireland

Allied Recycling is an Irish family business that has been operating for over two decades in waste collection, skip hire and recycling. Its activity serves both households and businesses, with coverage in the counties of Westmeath, Meath, Cavan, Kildare and Dublin. The company presents itself as a provider of simple, affordable and sustainable waste disposal solutions.

Household services

The company offers household waste collection services using wheelie bins, with plans that include general waste collection, recycling and compost. The standard service includes three bins with fortnightly collection and a monthly fee, while the pay-per-lift option is designed for those who need occasional collections. In the latter, the customer can use their own bins or the company can provide them, with a delivery charge per bin. The company also sells skip bags and hires skips for domestic projects.

Business solutions

Allied Recycling provides collection and recycling services to local and national businesses, with tailored solutions that aim to reduce costs and environmental impact. The company manages every stage of the process, from collection to disposal, and offers skip hire in various sizes for construction works and commercial projects.

Commitment to sustainability

The company declares its commitment to environmental improvement by modernising its fleet, reducing its carbon footprint, installing solar panels in its warehouses, incorporating waste into the circular economy and reducing waste sent to landfill. It also offers a specific plasterboard recycling service, a material composed mainly of gypsum, whose recovery helps conserve natural resources and reduce the need for mining.

Account management and payments

Customers can manage their accounts online, make secure payments, check collection calendars and update their contact details. The company has a mobile app to check collection dates and receive notifications about changes to service days. Standard service invoices are issued half-yearly, in January and July, and accumulated weights are billed according to each plan's allowance.

Frequently asked questions and customer service

The website includes answers to common queries about collections on public holidays, damaged or lost bins, calculation of weight charges and what goes in each bin. In the event of a Monday public holiday, the collection is brought forward to the previous Saturday. Replacement bins cost €30.00 each. The company has NSAI-approved weighing equipment on all its trucks.

Community activity and local presence

Allied Recycling maintains a news section with initiatives such as the Mullingar clean-up for Fleadh Cheoil 2022, tips on responsible food waste management, a school ad design competition and a free collection for frontline healthcare staff. The company has also expressed its congratulations to rugby player Robbie Henshaw on his selection for the Lions.
