Dundalk Credit Union, in conjunction with our Community Sustainability Partners Dundalk FC, are asking you to feed back into your community with the launch of the club’s new Lily the Bin initiative.

Dundalk Credit Union is proud to partner with Dundalk FC as their Community Sustainability Partner, working together to make our community more sustainable.

We’re excited to introduce ‘Lily the Bin,’ a new initiative at Oriel Park where fans can donate their re-turn drink cans and bottles. The funds raised from these donations will be reinvested into local community initiatives, furthering our shared commitment to environmental sustainability and community well-being. Join us in making a difference—one bottle at a time!

Three new, easily identifiable, blue bins will be situated in various parts of Oriel Park on match days and we are simply asking all Dundalk FC supporters to ‘feed Lily the Bin’ with your empty Re-turn bottles and cans.

Lily the Bin will be situated in three locations.

  • Beside the shop at the side of the main stand.
  • Behind the Town End goal.
  • Beside the food outlets in the Town End/Shed Side corner.

All of the proceeds from the Lily the Bin donations will go towards the Dundalk FC In The Community programmes.

“As a club, we are delighted to launch this concept, which will protect our environment and lead to a cleaner and more sustainable Oriel Park. The first initiative that will benefit from the funds that are raised is The Trí Little Birds School Football Programme which is also supported by the FAI and Healthy Ireland. This primary school football programme which promotes teamwork through football skills will be rolled out to 16 schools in Co Louth in September after successful pilots earlier in the year.”
