Dry Cleaning Services

Dry cleaning services that are established in Ireland using more than 10 tonnes per annum of solvents are required to obtain an integrated pollution prevention and control licence from the Environmental Protection Agency. Dry cleaning services established in Ireland that do not require an integrated pollution prevention and control licence are required to register and obtain a certificate of compliance from the relevant local authority to provide services in Ireland. Please find link to local authorities websites on the Department of the Environment, Community, and Local Government website, and the Environmental Protection Agency in the links below.
