It took three of us about 2 hours to clean from one end to the other!
The clean up crew! All this from just 3 miles.
The National Spring Clean runs from 1st to 30th April. Good luck to everyone involved!

An Taisce National Spring Clean
We tend to take the litter on the sides of our roads for granted, but in reality it is a national disgrace. Running a Bed & Breakfast as we do, it is only when you drive with the eyes of a tourist that you see how bad it really is, and so spurred on by An Taisce's National Spring Clean initiative, Helen organised to clean the verges of our local road (L5738), a distance of about 3 miles starting at 10 o'clock this morning.
An Taisce provided us with a Kit containing gloves, colour coded bags, green for general waste, yellow for plastic and blue for cans, as well as plastic vests telling people what we were up to. They also provided information on what to do with all the rubbish, and it looks like Westmeath County Council will come and take it away!

Good job!
ReplyDeleteThe litter situation drives me mad as well - our estate is constantly needing a tidy up and most people aren't keen in being part of it! Luckily - we are training the kids! I know it can be a pain but at the end it does make you feel good - good for you!
