Wexford Tidy Towns are looking forward to gearing up for 2014. We are holding our A.G.M. on the 12th February in the Council Chamber, at the old County Council Building. While the first cleanup of 2014 was held on January 11th at The Ferry/Carcur Area. Future cleanups are planned for February 8th at Clonard Road and March 8th on The Cultural Spine.
Wexford Tidy Towns are also delighted to let you know we came 6th in the 2013 Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL) up from 13th last year cleaner than European norms. This is a fantastic achievement which we are very proud of.
Our first cleanup of 2014 was held in The Ferry and Carcur area on the 11th January. Thank you to the 22 volunteers who came out on this beautiful morning, we got a lot of work done. Special thanks to Anne Troy, who usually looks after the road out around the Ferry, who offered free parking and had us all back to her beautiful home, where we had homemade soup home made brown bread, and home made mince pies. it was all delicious.
Thank you, to everyone who turned up this morning for our final cleanup of the year. We focused on the laneways and Main Street of the town giving them a good clean in time for Christmas. We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year. We look forward to seeing you all at a future cleanup or activity with Wexford Tidy Towns. Thank you to all the volunteers for all your help and support this year. Our first cleanup of 2014 will be held on January 11th.
Thank you so much to everyone who turned out this morning, we had a good crowd and 6 new members. We got a lot of work done, all the weeding and hedge cuttings collected are now on the way to Redmond Park, for composting. All the cans and bottles will be recycled. Afterwards we headed to the Boat club, where there was tea/coffee waiting for us free of charge. Thank you to everyone who turned up for a great effort to clean up the Carcur area.
Wexford Tidy Towns representatives attended the Student Volunteer Day at the Wexford Campus in Summerhill today. The hope is that some of the students will volunteer and help out on our regular cleanups. An added incentive for students is the opportunity to earn an IT Carlow President’s Volunteer Award. There is a Gold Award for 60 hours volunteering, a Silver for 40 hours and a Bronze for 20 hours. Apart from getting students to work with, and within, local communities, the expectation is that they will also develop good civic and leadership skills. Application forms are available at college reception or online.
We had a monster clean up on Saturday 9th November. First meeting in the Josephs car park at 10am, we then tackled the Knock. Well done to everyone who turned up on the day and helped us clean this space in our town.
We removed a huge amount of rubbish and recyclable material from the area. The breakdown of the clean up was:
19 bags of cans and bottles gone to recycling at the bring bank
13 bags of plastic recycling for Kilurin on Monday
20 bags of general rubbish gone to the skip
4 broken trolleys, carpet and miscellaneous items gone to skip
