A new report shows that Galway is above-average when it comes to the recycling of household electronic waste.
An average of 10.3kg of e-waste was recycled per person last year - compared to a national average of 9.5kg.
It comes as WEEE Ireland warns we're reaching record levels of electrical device consumption - with vapes playing a particularly big role.
Last year, it collected almost 40 thousand tonnes of e-waste, with a recovery rate of 96 percent that exceeds EU targets.
