Meals on Wheels Tralee has introduced the Re-turn Bottle and Can initiative to raise essential funds to support our services, including a special Free Christmas Day Dinner for the local community. This initiative encourages local businesses and organisations to recycle used bottles and cans that features the Re-turn logo.  

The program not only helps fund daily meal deliveries to those who require our service, but also aligns with sustainable environmental practices by promoting recycling within the Tralee area. By participating in the Re-turn scheme, local businesses can contribute to a greener community while ensuring continued support for Meals on Wheels and the annual Christmas dinner, which provides a warm meal and companionship for those who might otherwise spend Christmas Day alone.

Volunteers every Wednesday and Saturday visit all registered local businesses and organisations to collect the Re-turn Bottle and Cans each week.

Currently, we have the following businesses and organisations registered:

• Aqua Dome

• Ballyroe Heights Hotel

• Ballygarry Estate Hotel And Spa
