National Spring Clean 2007
National Spring Clean is Ireland’s most popular and most recognised anti-litter initiative. A yearly event, National Spring Clean is traditionally run throughout the Spring Month of April, during which volunteers from all over the country get out and clean up our countryside and cities. Everyone who registers with An Táisce will get a free pack with materials and information to help them carry out their clean up. The clean-up kit and youth pack contain all the information needed to organise a successful clean-up such as health and safety instructions, tips on gaining media coverage and writing press releases, how to make your event more interesting and also posters, competitions and games. Practical materials such as refuse sacks, tabards and gloves are also provided. An activity pack for uniform groups is also available.
Sligo Local Authorities will also sponsor gloves and litter-pickers to groups that register with An Taisce and will collect bags of litter that have been collected as part of an organised event.
