It’s time to capitalise on cleanliness of cities

Irish Business Against Litter’s annual Anti-Litter League results have been delivering good news in the first week of January for a number of years now.

From being one of the most littered countries in Europe back in 2002, when only two towns were deemed ‘litter-free’, we have seen year-on-year improvement in the cleanliness of our towns and cities. This progress is reflected in the results.

It is now time that we exploit this success to the economic good of these towns and cities. IBAL is proposing a ‘Clean Flag’ — along the lines of the well-established Blue Flag.
