The National Spring Clean Campaign is off to a flying start in Offaly
An Taisce’s National Spring Clean campaign is off to a flying start in County Offaly. Hundreds of community groups, schools and other organisations in Offaly have registered for this year’s campaign and many of the clean-up events are taking place this week. The National Spring Clean campaign is Ireland’s largest anti-litter initiative organised by An Taisce and funded by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government.
Those who register for National Spring Clean are issued with a FREE clean up kit which includes information on organising events, posters, colour coded refuse sacks for segregation of waste materials, and protective gloves and tabards. Local Authorities also provide efficient management of all waste collected without charge.
This year, An Taisce is also celebrating ‘Local Heroes’ who have demonstrated their commitment both to their communities by organising anti-litter events over the last number of years. Join the search for the National Spring Clean Local Hero on our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/
The Local Hero 2013, who will be announced in April, will win a Spring Break in the Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel.
The National Spring Clean campaign is also sponsored by the Wrigley Company and supported by Repak who supply colour coded refuse sacks for recycling the materials collected. Local Authorities co-ordinate activity in their areas and also support their local communities.
