Electronics are part of almost every home and workplace, yet most people are unsure what to do with them once they stop working. TVs, laptops, chargers, kitchen appliances and batteries all contain materials that must be handled carefully to avoid environmental harm. Bringing your e-waste to our Listowel recycling centre ensures it is processed safely, recycled correctly and diverted away from landfill. Best of all, household electrical items are accepted free of charge all year round.
Higgins Waste provides a straightforward way for households and businesses to dispose of electronic waste without stress. Whether it’s a single phone charger or a full van of old appliances, our team makes recycling as quick and convenient as possible.
E-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in Ireland. Even small devices contain metals, circuit boards, lithium batteries and plastics that cannot be placed in ordinary bins. When dumped illegally or mixed with general waste, they can leak harmful substances into the environment.
Recycling electronics through a licensed centre like ours ensures:
Every item brought to our Listowel recycling centre goes through a controlled treatment process to minimise environmental impact and support the circular economy.
We accept almost all household electrical items. As long as the item has a plug, cable or battery, you can bring it to us at no cost.
Common examples include:
If you have mixed items, it helps to keep them clean and dry for faster unloading. Our staff will guide you to the correct bays if you arrive with a large load or mixed materials.
Our Listowel site is designed to make e-waste recycling as simple as possible. You can drive in, unload and leave within minutes. The yard can accommodate cars, vans and trailers with ease, and the clear layout keeps traffic flowing even during busy periods.

Not every household has the transport needed for larger electrical items. To keep recycling accessible to everyone, we offer two other services.
Our collection team can pick up electrical items directly from your home in the Tralee and Listowel areas. This is ideal for heavier appliances such as fridges, washing machines or multiple items from a clear-out. Fees apply and we always confirm them before booking.
You can use either of our locations:
Both accept e-waste free of charge for households.
Recycling electronics does more than prevent pollution. Many devices contain metals and components that can be recovered and reused in new products. This reduces the need for virgin materials and supports sustainable manufacturing.
By choosing the correct disposal route, you help:
Even small items like phone chargers and batteries make a difference when processed properly.
Electrical waste covers a wide range of items, and it’s normal to feel uncertain about specific devices or mixed loads. If you’re unsure, send a photo or message to our WhatsApp line at 087 236 4770 and our team will confirm what we can take and advise on the best disposal option.
