The dlr Community Clean-up scheme supports voluntary groups wishing to organise a litter pick in their local area by providing a kit (bags, pickers and gloves) and collecting the litter bags after the event. The scheme is available to community groups, estate management groups, residents’ associations, tidy towns, tidy district groups and schools. This dlr Community Clean-up scheme is open all year.
How to collect equipment?
If you would like to access equipment under the scheme (bags, litter pickers, gloves or high-vis) please contact our Civic Hub to make arrangements. To log a request for collection of litter bags, email info@dlrcoco.ie or call 01 2054700. Equipment can be collected directly from the Civic Hub in County Hall Dún Laoghaire or the Dundrum Office. When collecting equipment, please review the scheme guidelines and safety advice provided.
Please note;
• Bags, gloves, pickers and high-vis are available subject to availability and group size guidelines. Blue litter bags will be registered to the community or school group.
• The location and date of the litter bag collection must be arranged with the Civic Hub before the litter pick event. The Council can only collect bags from a public location.
• Only general street litter in official blue dlr clean-up bags can be collected.
• Green waste and leaves are not collected under this scheme.
• Recyclables (e.g. glass bottles and cans) collected during a clean-up should be taken to a local bring bank for recycling. Recyclable waste is not collected under this scheme.
