How Wilton Recycling embodies ‘Our Power, Our Planet’ every day

Earth Day marks its 55th anniversary on April 22, 2025, with the theme ‘Our Power, Our Planet’; a call to action for cleaner energy, less waste, and smarter environmental choices. At Wilton Recycling, this isn’t a one-day effort it’s how the team operates.

At its Corranure site in Cavan, Wilton Recycling produce Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF), which a cleaner energy source made from non-recyclable waste. It’s used by energy-intensive industries such as cement manufacturing and helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Instead of sending waste to landfill, Wilton is powering industry in a more sustainable way.

From its Kiffa and Corranure sites, Wilton Recycling sends recyclable materials to Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs). These facilities specialise in sorting and preparing recyclable material for marketing to end-user manufacturers. Wilton supports a circular economy by keeping materials in use for longer; reducing the need for new resources and lowering the environmental impact of producing raw materials.

With over 20 years in the waste management industry, Wilton Recycling has built a strong reputation for dependable, cost-effective service. The team works with both households and businesses across Cavan, providing everything from general and recycling bin collections to compost and glass services. Customers stay with Wilton because it prides itself on making waste management straight forward, affordable, and genuinely useful. Through clear guidance, flexible pricing, and a focus on practical solutions, Wilton Recycling help people reduce waste without overcomplicating it.

This year’s Earth Day message is about harnessing collective action. At Wilton Recycling, the team believes real power lies in the small changes; composting, sorting waste into the correct bins, and managing waste responsibly.

Together, it adds up to a cleaner planet and a better future.
