I have a trailer load of pyracantha branches and tree branches after doing a lot of pruning. Its not heavy but its bulky. It seems like a waste to dump it into black bags with bin tags or take it to a regular dump as its completely biodegradable. Where can I take this ? Is there any recommended place in Dublin ? I heard a while back from a long forgotten source that some places exist e.g local parks which take green waste like this in for free and turn it into mulch. Is this true ?
 
There are two recycle centres in Ballymount. One large charges €15 euro per car and the smaller one is €10. You can just put back the seats and they don't have to be bagged which makes it easier if your car is big enough. The cheaper one is up the ballymount road from Walkinstown roundabout and on your right.

thx elcato.
would that charge be increased if the car had the green waste in a trailer or was a van ?

Not sure but the M50 would bring you to Ballyogan near Carrickmines where a car load of green waste costs €6.
 
St Annes Park, green waste disposal, in Raheny has been closed about 5 years now. Locals pushed for it to be closed

There were good health related issues related to the closure of St Annes Park.

However regarding places to get rid of your branches, you can bring bagged green waste for €2 a bag (or €16 trailer full I think) either to the Dublin City Council's Bring Centre in the North Strand or their other one on Oscar Trainer Road . The latter has a half day on a Friday just in case you were planning to go on a Friday.
