Farranree residents to stage monthly clean-ups

Residents in Farranree on the northside of the City have announced plans to stage a series of monthly clean-ups after the area was branded Ireland’s only litter black spot. The Farranree Community Association is also hoping to secure a deal with major domestic waste collection companies on behalf of households in the area who may be in arrears with their refuse accounts. The initiative comes after the latest Irish Business Against Litter survey which found heavily littered sites in the area which were subjected to dumping and neglect.
