National Spring Clean has been operated by An Taisce since 1999 in partnership with the Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government and Local Authorities and is sponsored by the Wrigley Company Ltd. The size and scale of National Spring Clean has grown steadily and significantly over the years.
In 1999, 1,732 clean-up events were registered with An Taisce and an estimated 155,000 people took part in these events.
In 2023, 5,640 groups registered to carry out clean-ups throughout the country – Volunteers who participated in the Spring Clean 2023 collected an estimated 2,600 tonnes of litter.
The effort and enthusiasm of the National Spring Clean volunteers has ensured the campaign’s real triumph and success. As National Spring Clean has become a fixed date on the school and community calendar, this partnership can hopefully look forward to an even greater success for many years to come.
