We had a monster clean up on Saturday 9th November. First meeting in the Josephs car park at 10am, we then tackled the Knock. Well done to everyone who turned up on the day and helped us clean this space in our town.
We removed a huge amount of rubbish and recyclable material from the area. The breakdown of the clean up was:
19 bags of cans and bottles gone to recycling at the bring bank
13 bags of plastic recycling for Kilurin on Monday
20 bags of general rubbish gone to the skip
4 broken trolleys, carpet and miscellaneous items gone to skip
Wexford Tidy Towns, along with other on going environmental programs and initiatives in the town, were represented at the Wexford Tidy Towns stand at the Wexford Business Expo. This was held in Whites Hotel on Thursday 10th of October 2013, from 2pm to 8pm, with over 80 other exhibitors. It was free to enter and was a great opportunity to meet our supporters there, see some new faces and spread the word on the work we do. It was a successful day with lots of information exchanged and new contacts made. More information on the Expo can be found 
Redmond Park will be getting even more brownie points on the green front when they start composting leaves from this Autumn. The plan is to install some composting bays in the fenced off area in the corner of the park. Leaves will be collected from throughout the municipal area and brought here for composting. With proper handling the leaves will break down to give a lovely, nutritious compost. Up to now all leaves collected have gone to landfill with all the expense that incurs. The local authority will also save money at the other end in that they will not have to buy in compost. The project is a joint effort between Wexford Borough Council and Wexford Tidy Towns (Biodiversity Committee).
