Have you heard of the #Christmas wrapping paper scrunch test? If you are wrapping gifts this year try and ensure the wrapping paper is recyclable. You can usually tell by looking at it - simple paper wrap can be recycled but foil or glitter-decorated paper can’t. Repak

It takes months to fully train a new KMK battery sorter. The training board you’ll see in our video contains only a portion of the different types of batteries. Remember, all batteries collected by WEEE Ireland & brought here to KMK for recycling, raise money for LauraLynn, Ireland's Children's Hospice.

Do you know what #Ewaste scavenging is? @EERArecyclers have just published a report highlighting what a huge problem it is across Europe both financially and more importantly, in terms of our #environment #EERA kmk.ie/news/eera-repo…

Looks like a few recycling bin rules have been broken here in KMK....but we might just have found the culprits #naughtyelves

Our annual Christmas Jumper Day was a great success, netting over €200 for Midlands Simon. Criostoir improvised with some Christmas lights while Jonah stole the show with his festive shirt and dickie bow 🥰

Today, Kurt Kyck, father of our Managing Director, Kurt and grandfather of our General Manager, Max would have turned 100. Learn about how he came to Ireland during WW2 almost 80 years ago and why he stayed. Well worth a read. independent.ie/regionals/drog…

Brilliant

A little worried that some complacency is setting in. We have made progress but we’re not yet where we need to be. We need to see a fall in new cases. Encouraging signs. But please let’s not slip up now. #StayHome. It’ll be worth it! Retweet so we all get a reminder #Covid19

Our steering committee is delighted to announce that the plans we presented to the Presentation Sisters, formerly of #Killina, proposing to develop a community resource centre in the former convent property, have been accepted. More coming soon! #KillinaPresentationResourceCentre

KMK’s Kyck family should have been in Cloghane, Co. Kerry today to mark the arrival in Ireland on this day 80 years ago, of Kurt Kyck Snr, who crash landed on Mount Brandon. The trip has been postponed due to the current COVID-19 Offaly travel restrictions kmk.ie/news/covid-19-…

We are thrilled with the backing we have received so far both financial & donations of useful equipment to fit out & maintain the convent building & move forward with the Killina Presentation Resource Centre. Any good quality furniture & equipment will be considered for reuse.

The most eco-friendly way to dress up for #Halloween is to use materials you have at home to make your costumes, but failing that you can always #reuse costumes you have bought and make sure to pass them on 👻 🧙‍♀️ 🎃 #HappyHalloween

Something tells me I wouldn’t have secured a 1-2 finish in the Horse Racing Ireland #20toFollow competition last year without this little bible. Not a bad start to this year either. Thanks Paul Ferguson #JumpersToFollow
