Cork GAA is calling on clubs across the county to to come clean and play a part in this year’s Community Clean -Up Day on Saturday April 12th.
This follows the success of last year’s inaugural event which saw 3,000 participants from almost 100 clubs take part.
Cork GAA is the first County Board in the country to undertake such an initiative on this scale and is hoping to increase the number of participants this year.
Each club collected an average of 12 to 15 bags of waste last year, consisting mainly of drink cups, wrappers, packaging, plastic bottles, cigarette butts and some green waste.
The Cork GAA Community Clean-Up Day, which is supported by An Taisce, Tidy Towns and Cork City and County Councils, is open to players, coaches, officials and supporters of all ages. Cork GAA is calling on all hurling, football, camogie and ladies football clubs to don their colours and get involved, with applications closing on Wednesday, April 2nd.
All participating clubs will be provided with litter pickers, gloves, bags and hi-vis vests.
The event is part of Cork GAA’s Sustainability Vision and, with a goal of collecting and properly disposing of large volumes of waste, it aims to foster a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone to enjoy.
