Get ready to become an eco warrior for Limerick! As we mark the 10th anniversary of Team Limerick Clean-Up (TLC10), Limerick City and County Council (LCCC) invite you to join thousands of volunteers in a massive community effort to keep Limerick clean. This milestone event promises to be the most impactful yet, and we need your help to make it unforgettable!
The 10th edition of Team Limerick Clean-Up (TLC10) is taking place on Good Friday, 18th April and registration deadlines are fast approaching. Limerick City and County Council is making a fresh call on all individuals, groups, and businesses to join this significant community effort.
LCCC is delighted to once again partner with the JP McManus Benevolent Fund and Mr Binman for the biggest annual one-day clean-up event in the country. The deadline to register for schools and businesses is 31st March and for volunteer groups the deadline is 7th April.
This year, volunteers are encouraged to invite new neighbours to join them to help foster a sense of pride in their community and care for the local environment. To support this, TLC will provide supplies for tea and coffee gatherings at various locations throughout the city and county.
COMMUNITY INITIATIVE
Mayor of Limerick, John Moran says the initiative continues to achieve impressive results.
“We are thrilled to once again play a pivotal role supporting this great community initiative. I commend the JP McManus Benevolent Fund, Council staff, Mr Binman and volunteers across the city and county for all they do to make this initiative a cornerstone of community pride and environmental stewardship in Limerick. TLC aligns perfectly with our vision for a more liveable and desirable Limerick as outlined in our More for Limerick Programme. But it is not just about the 18th April, I encourage everyone to participate and help make Limerick a cleaner, better place for all every day.”
Last year, TLC9 saw an impressive 57 tonnes of litter collected by volunteers from diverse backgrounds, including schools, colleges, sports clubs, Munster Rugby, businesses, charities, nursing homes, and local celebrities.
Príomh Comhairleoir of Limerick City and County Council, Cllr Dan McSweeney added: “People of all ages wearing hi-vis vests and volunteering to pick up litter in towns and villages across Limerick is a welcome sight each Good Friday. TLC10 provides another fantastic opportunity for everyone to come together, meet new neighbours, and make a positive impact on our local environment. It teaches our young people to take pride in their community and I encourage everyone to register, participate and stay safe.”
Registration is now open, with deadlines on 31st March for schools and businesses, and 7th April for volunteer groups. To register, visit https://teamlimerickcleanup.ie/register/
