 It is time to roll up our sleeves and make a meaningful impact on your local environment as registrations open for the 26th National Spring Clean!

Operated by An Taisce, funded by the Dept. of Environment, Climate and Communications and supported by SDCC, the National Spring Clean is Ireland’s largest anti-litter campaign, rallying thousands of volunteers each year. This year marks 26 years of the campaign, which has seen the removal of an estimated 50,000 tonnes of litter from Irish streets, parks, and coastlines over the years, thanks to the dedication of thousands of volunteers over the years.

Following the success of the 25th anniversary Spring Clean last year, organisers are kicking off the 26th year this April, by  encouraging individuals and communities across the country to register now to ensure that the 2025 campaign is the biggest and most impactful to date.

Last year, 30% of all waste collected during the National Spring Clean was recycled, as the campaign continues to highlight the importance of a circular economy and waste reduction.
