Services

Galway City Council is currently progressing the delivery of Affordable Housing.

Schemes where Affordable Housing is available will be publicly advertised across the Local Authority website, local newspapers and social media.

Local authorities may provide bring centres where you can recycle small household items such as glass, plastic, food and beverage cans and textiles.

Local authorities may offer choice to approved housing and transfer applicants in selecting a new home. Applicants can express an interest in houses which are advertised.

The Galway City Council Recycling Centre provides a facility for residential customers of Galway City to bring and dispose of unwanted household or electrical items free of charge.

The centre is for Galway City residential customers only. Commercial use is strictly prohibited.

Room for a Student Local Authority Tenancies Scheme is a government initiative where local authority tenants are permitted to let out a room or rooms in their homes to third level students with the prior permission of the local authority, as the landlord.

Galway City Council is seeking to increase the number of Affordable and Social housing units through various delivery mechanisms, including the acquisition of turnkey units on greenfield/brownfield and/or unfinished housing development sites which are zoned residential.

Local authorities regulate the disposal, recovery and recycling of consumer electrical goods, electrical appliances and batteries.
