In 1999, 1,732 clean-up events were registered with An Taisce and an estimated 155,000 people took part in these events.
In 2021, 5,543 groups registered to carry out clean-ups throughout the country and collected an estimated 3,000 tonnes of litter.
The effort and enthusiasm of the National Spring Clean volunteers has ensured the campaign’s real triumph and success. As National Spring Clean has become a fixed date on the school and community calendar, this partnership can hopefully look forward to an even greater success for many years to come.
