"This initiative isn’t just about bins—it’s about building a culture of sustainability."

At The City Bin Co., we’re always looking for ways to up our game...

—and this season, we’re taking that quite literally! We’re delighted to announce that we are now Galway United’s official Sustainability Partner, helping to make Eamonn Deacy Park a cleaner, greener place for fans and players alike.


Three Up Front: Recycling, Waste, and Sustainability

As part of this partnership, we’ll be providing waste management services for all stadium events, ensuring that every matchday at Eamonn Deacy Park is as environmentally friendly as possible. We’ve also designed brand-new signage to help supporters Sort It! and use the correct bin with ease.

Each waste station now features clear, fan-friendly signage showing what items go into which bin, making recycling a simple part of the matchday experience. And, of course, the bins themselves are placed directly in front of their relevant information, so there’s no confusion—just clean, efficient waste sorting.

We’ll also be tracking recycling rates and waste levels throughout the season, aiming for zero contamination in our recycling bins. Later in the year, we’ll even introduce carbon emissions tracking, giving a full picture of the environmental impact.

Galway United Aiming for the Top of the Recycling League

Football is all about stats, and we’ll be keeping an eye on the numbers here too! Each home match programme will include updates on how the team (that’s you, the fans!) is doing in keeping waste sorted correctly.

We want Galway United to top the table in recycling rates across the league—and with your help, we can make it happen.

Fans Can Make the Difference

This initiative isn’t just about bins—it’s about building a culture of sustainability. We’ll be sharing guest posts on Galway United’s social media throughout the season, providing tips and insights on waste management.

As the season progresses, we’ll introduce competitions and challenges, with prizes for fans who get involved in making Eamonn Deacy Park Ireland’s most sustainable stadium. We’ll even compare our recycling rates with other clubs to see how Galway United stacks up against the competition!

And while we don’t have volunteers in place yet, we hope to trial a matchday stewarding system later in the year, helping supporters make the right recycling choices.

Coming Soon: An Exclusive Offer for Galway United Fans

For fans who want to bring their sustainability efforts home, we’ll soon be launching a household waste collection referral scheme. Stay tuned for details on how you can switch to The City Bin Co. and support your club while keeping your waste in check.

For now, let’s stay onside and focus on sorting it right on matchdays
