On Good Friday, 3rd of April 2015 a massive clean-up day in both Limerick City and
County took place. This was known as Team Limerick Clean-up (‘TLC’).We urged
everyone to sign up and make their community spotless and as a result, over 10,000
people participated in what turned out to be Ireland’s largest ever one day clean-up!
Due to TLC’s success, TLC2 took place on Good Friday 25 th March 2016 where the
number of volunteers grew by over 3,000!
The TLC initiative is sponsored by the JP McManus Benevolent Fund and is
spearheaded by Paul O’Connell, Limerick City and County Council co-ordinates with
the support of Mr Binman; the Limerick Leader and Live 95FM. Team Limerick Clean-
up is one of the most exciting campaigns ever to hit Limerick, and we are delighted
that the people of Limerick come out in force to do their bit to clean up the
environment. The event only requires a few hours of everyone’s time on Good Friday
and getting involved is great fun as well as very worthwhile.
Following the huge success of the Team Limerick Clean-up over the past two years,
which secured widespread national and regional media coverage, Team
Limerick Clean-up3 (TLC3) is set to take place again this year on Good
Friday, 14th April 2017. You can now register on our website. Once again the TLC
steering group will be encouraging volunteers of all ages to register and get involved
in this year’s campaign.TLC3 is appealing to all fast food outlets convenience stores,
service stations and haulage drivers across the city and county of Limerick to
support TLC3 by organizing their own clean up teams and
encouraging their customers to dispose of waste responsibly and to get involved.
