Register now for 11th annual County Clean Up
All community, voluntary organisations and individuals are being called to help in this year's County Clean Up.
The 11th annual event, with the support of KWD Recycling and Kerry County Council, will take place across the county on Saturday (April 15).
Over the past decade, hundreds of tonnes of rubbish have been collected along Kerry roads by thousands of volunteers.
The Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council, Cllr John Francis Flynn urged everyone to participate in what is now one of the annual community initiatives in Kerry.
"The tremendous effort of volunteers over the past decade has contributed to the campaign to keep the county litter-free. The County Clean Up greatly complements the work which Kerry County Council does all year round to promote environmental awareness and maintain our wonderful landscape. Registration is now open at www.countycleanup.com and I hope that local communities will participate in large numbers," he said.
"KWD Recycling is proud to be involved in the County Clean Up which is now in its 11th year," Noel O’Reilly from KWD added.
"It is a very important day that has made a huge difference on the roads of Kerry and west Cork."
Environmental Awareness Officer at Kerry County Council, Breda Moriarty said that "the amazing and diligent work of many community groups and individuals for the County Clean Up is admirable".
"Everyone coming together to keep Kerry clean and our roads litter free for an 11th year is fantastic."
Groups must register to ensure they receive a clean-up pack and to nominate a collection point for any litter collected.
