Kilkenny group teams up with local McDonald's to combat a major issue
Keep Kilkenny Beautiful are making new strides to tackle local littering
Volunteers from Keep Kilkenny Beautiful recently joined with staff from a local fast-food restaurant for a litter clean-up around the Hebron Road and surrounding areas in Kilkenny City.
The event formed part of a McDonald’s campaign aimed at tackling litter in parks, on paths and along roadsides in towns and cities across Ireland.
The '100 Parks in 100 Days' campaign will see employees from the international food chain undertaking 100 litter clean-ups in parks, beaches and nature areas across Ireland for 100 days from July until October.
Locally, the initiative is supported by Kilkenny County Council, elected representatives, schools and volunteer groups including Keep Kilkenny Beautiful.
