The Shift to AES Recycling
To provide a more streamlined experience, the service formerly known as Bord na Móna Recycling now operates simply as AES Recycling.

Your collection schedules, bins, and vehicles remain consistent, but all digital account management is now centralised at aesrecycling.ie.
