Litter Management Plan

The Carlow Litter Management Plan 2024 – 2026 for the prevention and control of litter, sets out to achieve measurable improvements of litter in Carlow. It is intended that all measures to be undertaken are realistic and measurable.

It sets out specific objectives for the following:

  1. Public awareness, participation and education
  2. Prevention
