National Spring Clean 2005

Play your part in keeping Kilcullen clean and green!

Kildare County Council is supporting An Taisce’s National Spring Clean — an anti litter campaign that runs for the month of April.

If you are an individual, community group, school, business or residents association and you want to organise a clean-up operation in your area, the Council can provide a limited number of gloves, litter pickers and refuse sacks. The Council will also, by prior arrangement, organise to collect suitable materials gathered as part of the Spring Clean and you need a clean-up application form from the Council for this.

Last year, over 263,692 volunteers participated in 3,147 events nationwide; and an estimated 717 tonnes of litter was collected, of which 23% was recycled.

If you are interested please register with An Taisce. There are a number of ways to register:

Ring the National Spring Clean Hotline at 01 7077066;
Register Online;
Collect a registration form from Kildare County Council Head Office and public libraries.
