Join the big clean-up

NATIONAL Spring Clean, Ireland’s largest anti-litter campaign, is scheduled to run throughout April. It is run by An Taisce in conjunction with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.

The campaign aims to encourage people to take responsibility for our ever-present litter problem.

Last year was the most successful to date. More than 260,000 people were involved in over 3,200 clean-up events nationwide. In order to build on this success I urge readers to take up the challenge this year.

Those interested in organising a clean-up can contact An Taisce on 01 7077066 or email [e-mail], or visit the campaign website, www.nationalspringclean.org.
