South Dublin residents encouraged to get involved in Community Clean-Up

Residents, volunteers and communities of Dublin are invited to take part in the 2021 Dublin Community Clean-Up, taking place from September 11 to 19.

Dublin’s largest clean-up event is a county-wide collaboration initiative from South Dublin County Council, An Taisce, local volunteers, residents, community groups, Fingal County Council, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, Dublin City Council, Local Authority Waters Programme, Dublin City Canals and Dodder Action.

This event encourages volunteers, agencies and communities to work together to make a concerted effort to address litter and environmental degradation.

The Mayor of South Dublin County Council Peter Kavanagh said: “I’m delighted to launch the Dublin Community Clean Up in conjunction with An Taisce and the three other Local Authorities in Dublin.

“As a proud member of Clondalkin Tidy Towns, I’ve seen the pride of place our citizens have, and how hard they work to keep our communities clean.

“I encourage everyone to start the habit of a lifetime and get out to help spruce up our towns and villages as part of Dublin’s Climate Action Week”.

You can either organise your own clean-up or join an existing one in your community. Register your event at www.dublincommunitycleanup.ie.

All litter pick kits will be provided by South Dublin County Council. The Council can also collect the litter bags after the event.
