Volunteers urged to take part in ‘Big Spring Clean’

Cllr. Lindsay Millar, Mayor of Mid & East Antrim Borough Council and Ian Humphreys, Chief Executive of Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful.

Volunteers, schools, businesses and community groups are being urged to pick up their litter pickers and spring into action – with a particular focus on plastic.

The ‘Big Spring Clean’ is a province-wide campaign organised by the Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful’s Live Here Love Here programme.

Jodie McAneaney, Live Here Love Here manager, said: “It’s also great to get all the volunteers together to discuss the issues surrounding plastic litter and give our parks, forests and beaches a big spring clean before the Easter break so that people can enjoy the outdoors.”

Volunteers can either organise their own clean-up or get involved in an existing event. Visit www.liveherelovehere.org/bigspringclean or contact [email protected]
