Print PagePlease note that there is a charge of €3.40 per car and €5.70 for car and trailer / van / 4x4. The only exception will be vehicles that are carrying electrical goods only as there can be no charge on these items. The charge is to offset the running costs of this facility and the Council has taken this step reluctantly to ensure the viability of the facility.
Silliot Hill Integrated Waste Management Facility, owned by Kildare County Council and currently operating on a contract basis by Oxigen, is open to the public Monday to Saturday, from 8 a.m. with last car on site at 3:45p.m. Please note that the facility closes for lunch on Saturdays from 12.45 to 1.30 and closes at 3.30. It may also close for lunch occasionally on other days due to staff reductions. The facility is closed on Sundays and on all Bank Holidays.

Recycling do's and dont's
Plastics
Due to a lack of recycling outlets in Ireland for plastics, only the following types will be accepted here; grades 1, 2, and 4. These may also appear on your plastic items as PETE, HDPE, or LDPE.
Any other plastics that do not carry these symbols or letters will not be accepted here at Silliot Hill for recycling, and unfortunately will be sent for landfill.
We suggest that when you are purchasing groceries etc, check the base of the container to see if it has the above symbols or letters. If so it is readily recyclable at Silliot Hill.
Inform your shopkeeper, and ask for packaging that is readily recyclable to be provided!
Glass Bottles & Jars
There are predominantly three colours of glass bottles – green, brown and white. On site, we have containers for each of these bottle colours, and the containers are clearly marked. To help with recycling of glass bottles, you should carry out the following:
- Remove caps or corks from bottles.
- Place bottles in the correct containers.
- Do not leave any litter in the vicinity of the containers.
- Place bags/boxes (used for transporting bottles) in the appropriate areas.
- Do not leave bags/boxes of bottles on the ground – place in the containers.
- Place only glass bottles in the containers – flat glass, ceramics and drinking glasses are not acceptable.
- blue glass should be placed in the green glass container.

Site Requirements
It is a requirement of the EPA licence 14-1 that vehicles such as pickup trucks, trucks, skip lorries, and trailers, taking waste into or out of the site, be covered by either a net or a tarpaulin, and securely tied down. If these vehicles are presented without a cover, we regret that we will have to refuse its entrance to the site, until such a time as it is covered adequately. It should also be noted that under this licence, the site is a no smoking zone.
