REPRO FREE Garrihy’s Doolin2Aran to invest in unique solar powered bins that combat waste Revolutionary bin manufactured by Mayo company will enhance carbon footprint by reducing number of collections Seagulls are set for slim pickings at a favourite Wild Atlantic Way destination after a ferry operator has introduced a revolutionary and indigenous Irish waste management technology. One of the country’s busiest privately-owned ferry companies, Garrihy’s Doolin2Aran Ferries, has taken a lead to combat litter at the Aran Islands’ gateway pier by installing a globally trademarked, solar-based compacting solution that will reduce waste collections and carbon footprint by up to 20 times. The SolarStreetBinTM is the smart product of Balla, Co. Mayo company PEL and, after being adopted in leading cities across the globe, is now getting significant traction back home, with the Co. Clare based company owned by the well-known Garrihy family the first to adopt the solution in the Burren and Cliffs of Moher Geopark. The mechanism operates by harvesting the natural energy of the sun to power a compactor located internally in the 240 litre wheelie bin. The powerful unit condenses waste in the bins by as much as one-twentieth of its typical volume. With smart software on board that notifies the owner when the bin is 90% full, the SolarStreetBinTM not alone eradicates waste spill-outs but reduces carbon footprint by lessening the number of waste collections. And with this being the first such facility installed in Clare, the hope is that it will be the first of many installed across the county.Pic Arthur Ellis.

The Garrihy family and our famous Blue Crew will take you sailing to magical places off the Irish coast on the Wild Atlantic Way.

The beautiful coastal village of Doolin is the idyllic departure for ferries to the Aran Islands or boat trips to see the Cliffs of Moher from sea level – an entirely different perspective of Ireland’s most iconic natural attraction.

On the islands visit ancient castles, stone forts, beautiful beaches as well as several pubs and cafes and shops for the famous Aran knitwear.

Take a trip to the islands with a Cliffs of Moher cruise for a day to remember.
