A number of large industrial bins will be located in Rathmullan ahead of next Saturday’s Beach Clean.
The 1,100 litre bins will be provided by An Post’s Beach and Waterways Clean Up Day which is supported by waste company, Panda.
An Post is encouraging the general public to take the time to rediscover their local beauty spots this weekend and urging people to bring home any litter they find, ultimately helping to preserve our underwater ecosystems.
Panda will place the bins at Rathmullan before 9am on Saturday, and collect them in the early evening.
Several conservation and biodiversity organisations and experts have weighed in on the initiative including young marine environmentalist Flossie Donnelly, restaurateur and sustainability advocate JP McMahon, biologist Éanna Ní Lamhna, and An Post employee Francesco De Marchis from Balbriggan DSU with his 11-year-old son, Nico De Marchis.
Commenting on the initiative Nicola Woods, Chief Transformation Officer, An Post says: “This Europa stamp issue and the Beach and Waterway Clean-Up Day brings to life our purpose of acting for the common good and improving the quality of life in Ireland, now and for generations to come. Like so many of my An Post colleagues across Ireland, I will be visiting my local beach on Saturday and playing my part in the clean-up day, leaving the beach in a better state than I find it.”
