"Mountain" of Electronic Waste in Ireland

25 million electronic items produced

Kildare people are being urged to do a clear-out of their homes this weekend, to tackle the mountain of electronic waste in Ireland.

A UN report says Irish people generated 25 million items of electronic waste last year, with toys, vapes, cables, remote controls, and USB sticks the worst culprits.

11 million kilos of e-waste are lying in landfill sites, homes and sheds around the country.
