On this forthcoming Good Friday, Athlone Tidy Towns representatives are asking householders, families and individuals to assist with their annual litter pick and clean-up of the town.
“This is now an annual event and the level of public participation in other years has been excellent. We are seeking the co-operation of smaller groups i.e. residents’ associations, businesses, 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, near business locations or nearby roadway or laneway.
“This will greatly assist the many volunteers, who help us out every week to keep Athlone neat and litter free.
“We would ask you to carry out the task on the morning time, weather permitting. Green bags and pickers will be provided, on request, by emailing [email protected] or to any members of the tidy towns committee,” Mr Gerry Johnson, chairperson, Athlone Tidy Towns committee, said.
When finished your task, you can drop off the collected litter at the following locations before lunch time on that same day:
Bus Stop near Valleycourt
Grace Park Road (Opposite St Hildas )
Carpark at Cornamaddy School
Outside the Athlone Training Centre at the Garrycastle Sign
One Mile (Opposite entrance to Sli an Aifrinn )
Top of Talbot Avenue
Entrance to Connaught Gardens (Opposite Walshes )
Entrance at Annesfield
Opposite Shines Pubs, Baylough
Committee members will then arrange to have these green bags picked up for their final disposal.
