Clean Up Laois Week 18th to 22nd April 2022

After a two year break Spring Clean Up Week returns to Co. Laois. National Spring Clean has been operated by An Taisce since 1999 in partnership with the Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government and local authorities throughout the country.

Laois County Council and their sponsors Bord na Mona are asking local communities to spring into action and join the fight against litter. Groups, communities, neighbours and friends are requested to register with the Environment Section to receive packs of bags, gloves and litter pickers and to tackle the issue of litter in their local areas. The collected litter will be gathered by Bord na Mona during the week commencing 25th April. This initiative is Ireland’s biggest and longest running anti-litter campaign and makes a real impact on local environments. Clean Up Laois Week last took place in 2019 and that year the county saw 108 groups registered and in excess of 1,600 volunteers taking part. We hope that 2022 will be as successful.
