Communities across the Inishowen Peninsula were busy this weekend with community clean-ups taking place in Birdstown, Burnfoot, Fahan, Moville and Greencastle.
People of all ages came out and took some pride in cleaning up their local areas.
“The sun was shining on Saturday and it certainly helped with the wonderful community spirit and camaraderie across the peninsula” said Pearse McCrory, Litter Warden with Donegal County Council.
He added “I would just like to say a massive thank you to all the groups who participated, and indeed to all our elected members for their support and assistance. These clean-ups have become an important event in our communities and they are great way to get people of all ages involved in the life of the community. It is a good way of getting to know people especially if you are new to the area.”
Anyone interested in organising a community clean-up should contact the Council on 074 91 53900 or apply online at www.donegalcoco.ie . The Council will provide bags, gloves, litter pickers and can arrange for the collection of the rubbish once it has been bagged.
