addition, the
following local primary schools will host events next week.

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. An Taisce will also liaise with
local authorities to ensure that all materials collected will be picked up
without charge. Those who wish to take part should go to the National
Spring Clean website at www.nationalspringclean.org

The National Spring Clean campaign is sponsored by Coca-Cola Bottlers
Ireland and the Wrigley Company. It is also supported by Repak who supply
colour coded refuse sacks for recycling the materials collected and Local
Authorities who co-ordinate activity in their communities.
