Tipp communities urged to take part in national spring clean
Communities in Tipperary are being urged to register for this year’s National Spring Clean and show how much they love where they live. This is the 17th year of An Taisce’s National Spring Clean, Ireland’s largest anti-litter initiative.
The campaign is organised by An Taisce and funded by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and the Wrigley Company. Colour coded bags for recyclable waste are supplied by Repak. Every year people from all over the country take part in clean-up activities in their local area.
The National Spring Clean campaign is built on the spirit of local communities to help each other and give back to their communities with their time and work in cleaning up where they live. This year An Taisce is encouraging community members of all ages, backgrounds, and interests to sign up and make the 17th National Spring Clean the biggest campaign to date.
All volunteers registering for the National Spring Clean campaign are issued with a free clean-up kit which contains information, posters, colour coded refuse sacks for segregation of waste materials, protective gloves and tabards to keep participants clean.
The National Spring Clean is supported by Local Authorities who help co-ordinate clean-up activities for communities in their counties. They also provide for the disposal of all rubbish and waste materials collected. All those wishing to take part in the campaign should register on www.nationalspringclean.org.
