Registration now open for Team Tipp County Clean-Up 11th – 13th October
We are encouraging everyone to join in this County wide clean-up event. Get
together as a group, rally your neighbours, friends, work colleagues or join with
your local Tidy Towns group, Residents Group or Sports Club and lets all work
together as a team to help keep our communities clean.
Solving the County’s litter problem is not easy. The campaign is urging everyone to
take personal responsibility for disposing of their litter correctly to Keep Tipp Litter
Free and to protect our environment for now and future generations.
Speaking at the launch of the Team Tipp County Clean-Up, Cathaoirleach of
Tipperary County Council, Councillor Declan Burgess said;
“I am delighted to be launching the 2024 County Clean-Up here in my home town
of Cashel. We are seeing more and more indiscriminate dumping of litter on the
approach roads to our towns and villages. This is not what we want visitors to be
greeted with when they visit our County. Not alone is this creating a poor
impression, but litter has a detrimental effect on our environment and public
health. Those responsible for roadside littering are undermining the fantastic work
carried out by committed volunteers and Tidy Town groups, who work alongside
Tipperary County Council to keep the County clean. We all have a part to play in
keeping Tipperary Tidy.”
