Two cleanup efforts have taken place in the Drogheda area over the past week, involving both Louth County Council and local residents.
The council’s operations team carried out a litter pick and clean up along the route from the Hill of Rath Roundabout to the Rosehall Roundabout, near the M1 Retail Park. The area is widely used by walkers and joggers.
The council said: “This work helps keep these key routes tidy, safe and welcoming for everyone who uses them. The Road Sweeper carried out a fine clean of the area on Monday.
“Thanks to the team for their continued efforts in keeping our county looking its best.”
Louth County Council also praised residents in Aston Village who took part in the National Spring Clean. Local volunteers collected a large number of bags of rubbish, helping to improve the appearance of the area.
The village is now looking cleaner and more welcoming as the summer months approach.
The council is encouraging other communities to get involved in National Spring Clean 2026. Free clean up kits are available and groups can organise a clean up on a date that suits them by registering at nationalspringclean.org.
Louth County Council added: “We’re encouraging community groups, residents’ associations, schools, clubs and volunteers to clean up their community. Every bag collected makes a big difference.”
