15 tonnes of illegal rubbish removed in city under new awareness campaign

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Over 15 tonnes of rubbish has been removed across the city as part of an awareness campaign to highlight illegal dumping.

The initiative - entitled 'It's Not in Our Nature - Is it in Yours?' is being led by Galway City Council.

The campaign has identified and targeted key dumping black spots and aims to develop a strategy to deter dumping at these locations.

Areas cleaned to date under the plan include Sliabh Ban, Ballybane and the Dyke Road.
