Cork County Council Honours Community Heroes at Anti-Litter Awards

The standard was extremely high this year. In some locations, judges detected little or no litter. Across the county, the considerable effort of volunteers in keeping our towns and villages clean and beautiful is clear to see. Tackling litter in our communities has many benefits: it brings people together in common cause, improves the quality of life of residents, and makes places more attractive for visitors. Congratulations to all.

As we celebrate the 24th year of the Anti-Litter Challenge, it is clear that the same sense of civic pride and community spirit remains in communities right across the county. The awards ceremony is the culmination of this year’s competition and is an important opportunity for Cork County Council to acknowledge the vital contribution of communities in tackling litter. None of this would happen without considerable voluntary effort. The hard work, energy, and enthusiasm of all volunteers is greatly appreciated.
