According to the WEEE ireland page:
.....
Collection

Since the introduction of the WEEE Regulations 2005 Consumers can bring their unwanted electrical and electronic equipment to their local Civic Amenity centres for recycling free of charge.

The WEEE Ireland map gives details of Civic Amenity centres nationwide with WEEE collection facilities......

----
according to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Ireland site:
Consumers: Consumers should no longer simply throw away old electrical and electronic equipment. They should be able to return it on a 1:1 basis to shops when purchasing a new product, as well as to other collection points, both free of charge.
--------

Interestingly - Cork Co Co website states that

"The fortnightly recyclable collection service is free, whilst the charge for ordinary waste collection is extremely competitive..." - this implies that we could leave out the recycling bin for them every 2 weeks, even though we no longer pay for the "pay-by-weight" - must try that - should reduce my trip to the dump a bit as the majority of our recycling is cardboard paper and plastic bottles.
