Registration Open for Team Tipp County Clean Up 11th -13th October

To raise awareness of the blight of roadside litter, Tipperary County Council is supporting a Countywide Clean-up from 11th - 13th October. 

We are encouraging everyone to join in this Countywide clean-up event. Get together as a group, rally your neighbours, friends, work colleagues or join with your Local Tidy Town Group, Residents Group or Sports Club and lets all work together as a team to 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.” 

Getting involved is easy, interested groups should register by 4th October by clicking HERE.  Registered groups will receive a free litter pick pack which will be available for collection from County Council Offices in Nenagh, Clonmel, Thurles, Tipperary and Carrick-on-Suir from Tuesday 8th October.

Litter collected in specially branded bags will be accepted free of charge at any of Tipperary County Council’s recycling centres the week after the Clean-up from 14th to 19th October.  Click HERE to see list of recycling centres.
