Two years ago, some 6,000 volunteers were out and about on the day with the support of Kerry County Council and KWD Recycling.
Everybody involved picks all the litter off the main roads and by roads and this has proven a great success each year.
Noel O’Reilly of KWD Recycling said: “KWD Recycling is delighted to support yet another County Clean Up for the 9th year. This is a very important initiative – not only does it get our highways and byways looking great, it also gets communities together helping to raise awareness of the effects of littering, which in turn deters people from throwing rubbish on our roads in the first place. It’s a great testament to the people of Kerry and shows how proud we are of our county.”
