Westmeath Recycles Most E-Waste Per Person In 2024

The annual WEEE report showed Westmeath was above the national average of 9.5 kg.

Westmeath recycled the most e-waste per person in the midlands in 2024, according to the latest Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Ireland annual report.

The 9.8kg of electronic waste recycled in the county was more than the national average of 9.5kg, with Offaly and Laois recycling 9.0kg and 6.2kg respectively.

The country’s biggest e-waste recycling scheme is now calling for a national leap forward in "e-waste intelligence" as electrical device consumption reaches record levels - with vapes and solar panels driving a 75pc surge in sales over the last five years.
