National Spring Clean Sat 6th March 2021

Hollyfort's National Spring Clean Day is Saturday 6th March 2021.

Due to level 5 restrictions being extended, individual or household bubble clean-ups will only be carried out.

Refuse bags and  limited number of gloves available from Cooney's Shop nearer the time.

Your contribution during the National Spring Clean, however big or small, will have real and measurable benefits for our environment. For example:

For every aluminium can collected and recycled enough energy is saved to run your television for three hours!

For 1kg of recycled plastics collected, 1.5kg of carbon dioxide is prevented from being released to the atmosphere (the same amount of carbon dioxide released by toasting 30 slices of bread!

By recycling 1kg of paper instead of landfilling, enough energy is saved to run an energy-saving bulb non-stop for two days! For 1kg of recycled glass, the saving is 300g of carbon dioxide

Please help us to keep Hollyfort litter-free and take a photo for our Facebook page.
