FAQs
Items are missing from my kit.
This may be due to 1 of 2 reasons. Either there has been a problem on our end with the registration/distribution, or, if it is April or after, the more likely scenario is that we have begun to run out of items. We will always send out whatever we can, but due to a high …
My pack doesn’t contain enough tabards/gloves/etc for everyone.
Unfortunately, due to financial contraints, we do not have enough of each item for every registration. We get over 5000 registrations every year, just one of which could be a school of over 700 children.

My kit has not arrived yet?
The average turnaround for a pack is normally 5-10 working days. This can be substantially longer in March when all of the packing begins and there is a large number of orders to fill, or around public holidays when the distribution company may not be operating. Please always order you kit as soon as possible …

Can you help me promote my event?
Yes. Please send any information you would like promoted about your event to our Facebook page here and we will try our best to make as many posts as possible without overcrowding people’s notifications.

Using a courier is more cost efficient for An Taisce, meaning we have more money to use on more kits for everyone.
Can I collect my kit from An Taisce?
We will deliver to any address specified once it is detailed enough for the courier to find the location. However, please make sure that the delivery address is both aware that your pack is being delivered there, and that the person at the location who is accepting it on your behalf is okay with this …
My friend got a litter picker in their pack. Why didn’t mine have one?
Litter pickers, also referred to by people as pick-up sticks, pickers, grabbers, or sticks, are in incredibly limited supply and are generally reserved for the physically disabled or for special schools. They will never be included in a clean-up kit unless asked for, and there is never enough to give one per person due to …

I am from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown/Sligo. Why does my pack not contain bags?
If you are under either Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council or Sligo County Council, then your pack will not contain bags. This is because both of these councils choose to send out their own bags to be used for the clean up instead. Anything else in your pack will still be sent out by us.
