The spirit of community is alive and well in Termon, as this year’s annual Community Clean-Up has once again brought neighbours together in a collective effort to care for their local area.
Organisers have extended sincere thanks to all those who gave their time and energy to the initiative over the past week.
The clean-up began on Wednesday evening with volunteers from across the parish turning out in force. Despite the disruption caused by poor weather conditions, residents remained undeterred.
Originally planned to conclude by Monday, the clean-up was extended to the following Saturday to ensure everyone could participate safely and thoroughly.
Efforts were concentrated on clearing litter from the main and regional roads, with individuals and families encouraged to join in at times that suited their schedules.

The response was overwhelmingly positive, with many braving the unsettled conditions to contribute to the cause.
Organisers also reminded volunteers to follow road safety guidelines, wear high-visibility clothing, and leave filled rubbish bags at the roadside by Saturday evening for collection later that night. Supplies, including black bags, were made available at Gracies Stores and Sweeneys Filling Station.
A wide variety of rubbish was collected throughout the week, including plastic bottles, cans, food wrappers, discarded coffee cups, and even larger items such as broken signage, car parts and even a flat screen TV!
The Termon Community Clean-Up is more than a practical initiative—it is a powerful example of what can be achieved when people come together with a shared purpose.
The organisers extend their heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, supported, or helped spread the word to leave all 32km of Termon’s roads clean.
Special thanks must go to Donegal County Council in particular Councillor Michael McBride, Letterkenny Skip Hire, Tony McCaul from McCaul Memorials, Kevin
