Eastern Midlands Waste Region

The Eastern Midlands Regional Waste Office (EMWRO), based in Dublin City Council is responsible for the implementation of the 'Eastern Midlands Region Waste Management Plan 2015-2021'. This plan is underpinned by National and European waste legislation and our work will ensure the continued management of waste in a safe and sustainable manner. The Region covers 12 local authorities and spans an area equal to one fifth the total area of the country and serves approximately half the national population, over 2.2 million people. The vision for the plan is that to rethink the approach to managing waste by viewing waste as a valuable resource along with making better use of current resources and reduction of leakage of material, to include power, as a transition from a linear to a circular economy is made.
