3,400 take part in Kerry County Clean Up

3,400 volunteers took part in this year's annual County Clean Up.

This year's event took place over a week to ensure public health guidelines could be observed and large gatherings were avoided.

The Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council, Cllr Patrick Connor Scarteen thanked everyone who took part and removed litter from their localities.

Since it began in 2012, KWD, which supports the Kerry County Clean Up, has collected almost 60,000 bags of litter collected by volunteers and distributed 30,000 high-vis vests to ensure safety.
