Sneem uses a prepaid bag scheme — you buy tagged refuse and recycling bags in the village shops and leave them out on collection morning. No wheelie bin, no standing charge.
Prepaid tagged bag for anything that can't be recycled or composted. Leave out on collection morning, tied and tagged.
Clean, dry and loose recyclables only — cardboard, paper, rigid plastics, tins and cans. No food waste, no bagged-within-bags.
Home composting is encouraged. Garden waste can be brought to the civic amenity site rather than bagged.
Bags are sold over the counter in the village shops and filling stations around the square. Ask at the till — prices are per bag and include the collection. See the local directory for shop opening hours.

Furniture, electricals, mattresses and garden waste go to the Kerry County Council civic amenity site rather than into bags. Charges and opening hours vary by item.
