collection of filled bags of rubbish.

REPORT:

Community clean up applications are processed through the Social Credits  programme. The application form is available on the website www.socialcredits.ie.  Community clean up guidelines are available on the Council's website - this is a guide to organising a community clean up.  In 2012 the Council made arrangements to locate clean up materials - litter pickers, hi-vis vests, bags, brushes and shovels in community based facilities - community centres and sports and leisure centres. The use of the material  can be maximised and used by many groups - this ensures better use of  the Council's resources.

Once an application is made for support for a community clean up - the applicant is contacted regarding supply of materials and arrangements agreed regarding collection of material.
