The Carrick on Shannon tidy towns group has launched a deposit return system in the town.
The campaign the group has launched alongside participating Cafes aims to decrease litter from disposable coffee cups around the county. Participating cafes will sell reusable to-go cups to locals for €2, which can be returned to any participating shop when people no longer need them.
The group launched the campaign at the Market Year in Carrick-on-Shannon this week.
“Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project so far; we sincerely hope that it is a successful one,” they said on their Facebook page.
The Carrick Tidy Towns group is Ireland’s reigning Tidy Towns champions after winning the national award last year.
