GAA LOTTO

due to some confusion recently that we ARE NOT permitted to take any fridges, freezers, cookers, washing machines or driers. Apologies for any inconvenie­nce caused as the county Council does not permit us to do so.

We CAN accept clean, dry card/paper, some metals, some plastics (1-4) and light bulbs. The Tinahely.ie website outlines what can and cannot be accepted and includes other beneficial informatio­n and can be accessed here: tinahely.ie/

Again we regret any inconvenie­nce caused and thank you all for your continued support.
