Tipperary County is running a litter pick week from the 21st to the 27th August.
The council is encouraging groups to participate to keep Tipp Litter Free in ’23 with a special focus on roadside litter.
The council accepts that litter is a problem in the county and is urging everyone to take personal responsibility for disposing of their litter correctly to “Keep Tipp Litter Free” and to protect the environment for now and for future generations.
Cathaoirleach of Tipperary County Council, Councillor Ger Darcy says those responsible for roadside littering are undermining the fantastic work carried out by volunteers and Tidy Town groups, who work alongside Tipperary County Council to keep the county clean.
Interested groups should register on the Tipperary County Council website at www.tipperarycoco.ie to receive a free litter pick pack.
Litter collected in the specially branded bags will be accepted free of charge at any of Tipperary County Council’s Recycling Centres/Civic Amenity Sites from 21st August to 2nd September.
All groups registered who post a photograph of their clean-up will be in with a chance to win a spot prize.
Further information is available from the council website at www.tipperarycoco.ie or by calling the Environment & Climate Action Section of Tipperary County Council on 0818 06 5000.
