The rubbish has been collected since January.

Over 40 tonnes of litter have been removed as part of Kildare County Council's Green Kilometre scheme.

Individuals or groups are invited to adopt a section of road in their area to keep clean.

KCC says " The group or individual would then commit to maintaining the chosen stretch over the course of the year. "

The scheme has expanded significantly in 2021, from 16 kilometres in 2020 to 124.

The council, in responding to Fine Gael Cllr., Fintan Brett, says "Incentives of some native trees, litter pickers, bags and gloves are on offer for all participating individuals/groups and the council will also arrange to collect and remove the waste. "

The scheme has resulted in over 40 tonnes of litter being removed from local roads in the year to date.
