Litter is your business

ANYONE who has ever tried to organise a litter clean-up in their area will have found a number of willing volunteers, but also people who believe it’s “the council’s job’’ and not theirs.

But, most people by now realise that councils do not have the resources to pick up litter in every street, road and estate. Nor did they ever have, realistically speaking.

A Cork reader has been in contact to voice his disgruntlement with local authorities who, he says, have failed to co-operate with him in his efforts with clean-ups he has organised in his area.
