Don't Rubbish Tipp

�

South Tipperary County Council was delighted with the success of the F�S initiative in offering support to the county's Spring Clean campaign.

Over 100 F�S workers took to the rural roads during the month of April and filled over 8,500 bags of rubbish.

F�S had approached the County Council to offer their assistance after Councillors expressed concern at the amount of rubbish on the roadsides visible to all passers-by.

An excellent working partnership between F�S and the Council got underway to rid the rural roadsides of litter. F�S litter-picking crews were a common sight around the county, filling identifiable yellow refuse sacks - brandishing a 'Don't Rubbish Tipp' slogan. Rubbish bags were filled to the brim with plastic bottles, disposable coffee cups and food packaging - which topped the poll of the most common items found along the roadsides.

Incidences of illegal dumping along roadside drains were also tackled and cleared away.

The partnership between F�S and South Tipperary County Council proved invaluable as F�S provided the much-needed manpower to do a clean sweep to rid the county roadsides of litter. The County Council provided F�S with the necessary materials for the clean-up and organised local council depots to act as temporary storage facilities for the yellow refuse sacks.

The Council refuse freighter collected the rubbish on a weekly basis and transported the litter to the county's landfill in Donohill.

The manpower provided by F�S allowed 32 tonnes of rubbish to be removed from the roadsides over a four-week period. South Tipperary County Council is proud of this unique litter initiative, which was made possible only by F�S coming forward and offering its support to the county's Spring Clean campaign.

"I would like to acknowledge the commitment of F�S to this initiative" - commented Bernadette Moloney, Public Awareness Officer of South Tipperary County Council.

"Litter-louts be warned that littering is not acceptable in South Tipperary - the county is clean, the gloves are off, litter louts will not be tolerated" - she added.
