Rock Road clean up

Litter picked the Rock Road section that falls within our area for Tidy Towns, from Phoenix Terrace to Mount Merrion Avenue, both sides.  Most unusual thing found were about 20 rusty nails of various sizes by the entrance into the car park for Blackrock Park. We may have saved someone a puncture.

Litter pick done on Sydney/Georges Ave/Blackrock By-pass

This evening we did a circular route starting on the Blackrock end of Mount Merrion Avenue and continuing along Sydney Ave, left into Georges Avenue, on to the Blackrock By-pass and left again onto Mount Merrion Avenue. The early section of Sydney Avenue was quite clean, the section where the houses are nearer the road was dirtier. Georges Avenue has alot of footfall as it is a link route into Blackrock town from surrounding areas. It was quite dirty. The worst location was the rubbish in and under the hedging on the Blackrock By-pass outside the Blackrock Shopping Centre. That hedge has some mean thorns. It took two of us just under two hours to complete this route.

Tobernea Park cleaned

Last evening we did a litter pick on Tobernea Park. We collected two big bags of rubbish including a pair of kids shoes, about 10 odd socks and a number of card board boxes, which had most likely been used to take items to the bottle bank near by.
