Feenagh Tidy Towns

A great few days so far celebrating nature across Limerick for #NationalBiodiversityWeek 🌿 👣 From a wonderful Sound and Nature Walk in Newcastle West Demesne (with Gaelscoil Ó Doghair, Newcastle West Tidy Towns and Castleconnell Tidy Towns), to spotting common and soprano pipistrelle bats in Infinity Woodland, it’s been fantastic to see people of all ages connecting with the natural world. 🌲 📚 Limerick City Library hosted pupils from St Mary’s NS who enjoyed an engaging visit from 'Golden Wings' author Susan O’Donoghue, learning all about Barn Owls through stories, games, and hands-on activities. 🐦‍⬛ There was also a talk on Shannon Estuary Birds in the Dooradoyle library with St Paul's National School and the general public. More events still to come, check them out: limerick.ie/discover/whats… #BiodiversityWeek #LimerickEdgeEmbrace #Limerick @LimerickEnviron

Householders in Limerick urged to tackle hoarding of electrical waste by making Christmas 2025 a successful period for recycling! 84% of Irish householders are hoarding broken or unused electrical items at home and Irish homes contain an average of 15 to 20 broken or unused electrical items. Typical hoarded electrical items include kettles, plugs and cables, mobile phones, TVs, microwaves, laptops, power tools and vacuum cleaners Recycle your electrical waste for FREE at limerick.ie/council/servic… and at any electrical retailer on a “like for like” basis i.e. you purchase a toaster, you can bring back your old toaster for FREE recycling. Larger stores accept WEEE on a like for 0 basis i.e. you do not have to make a purchase to bring back an old Electrical item. Please contact the store in advance. If you purchase a large electrical item e.g. washing machine, please make sure to have the old one collected by your retailer – it must be disconnected and ready for collection for FREE recycling MyWaste.ie has a convenient interactive map with hundreds of FREE electrical waste drop off points located across the country. #LimerickEdgeEmbrace #Limerick
