SDCC's Christmas Decoration Recycling Competition 2025

On Monday December 15th 2025, the Mayor of South Dublin County, Cllr Pamela Kearns presented the winners of the SDCC Christmas Decoration Recycling Competition with their prizes in County Hall.

Mayor Kearns said “Every year the fantastic response to this competition amazes me and this year was no different. Handmade decorations are so precious.   Every time you make a decoration from ordinary household recyclable materials, you help the environment and create something unique that can be given as gifts to your family.  Once you get into the habit of thinking this way, there is no limit to your creativity, the amount of recycling you can do and the money you can save.  Congratulations to everyone”

This Christmas Mayor Kearns asks you to pass on the important message of recycling to your family and friends.

South Dublin County Council would like to congratulate everyone who took part in the annual competition. All the decorations created are fantastic and all made from recycled materials.
