Come out and support Good Friday litter pick and clean up event
On Good Friday, Athlone Tidy Towns is asking householders, families and individuals to help us out in our annual Litter Pick and Clean-up of our town. This is now an annual event and the level of public participation in other years has been excellent.
The group is seeking the cooperation of smaller groups i.e. residents associations, householders, families etc to devote an hour or two looking after their immediate vicinity and pick the litter and or tidy up an unsightly spot in their estate or nearby roadway. This will greatly assist the many volunteers, who help us out every week to keep Athlone neat and litter free.
Athlone Tidy Towns is encouraging the public to carry out the task on the morning time, weather permitting. Green bags and pickers will be provided, on request, by emailing athlonetidytowns2022@gmail.com or to any members of the Tidy Towns Committee.
When finished your task, you can drop off the collected litter at the following locations before lunch time on that same day at the following locations: 1. Bus Stop near Valleycourt, 2. Grace Park Road (Opposite St Hildas), 3. Entrance to Mayfield Grove, 4. Outside the Athlone Training Centre Garrycastle, 5. One Mile (Opposite entrance to Sli an Aifrinn), 6. Top of Talbot Avenue, 7. Entrance to Connaught Gardens (Opposite Walshes).
Committee members will then pick up these green bags for their final disposal.
