A total of seven bags of marine litter – including food wrappers, fishing gear and microplastics were collected from 6kms of coastline.
Maeve Townend, Head of Corporate Affairs at Aspen Grove said: “The Aspen Grove team always enjoy being involved in Community initiatives. It’s brilliant to see the difference a few hours and some willing hands can make, and we’re proud to support the work Tidy Town does for Tralee all year round.”
