Dublin City Council provides a tractor and trailer, plus Gerry the driver, to take away and dispose of all of the rubbish that is collected. The Dublin Port Company provides litter-picking equipment to the group.

The Bull Island Action Group really do appreciate as much help as they can get. Why not bring a friend or a family member along with you? They will get some exercise, lots of fresh air and give the Action Group some much needed help. Many hands make light work!

Please see the expected weather and tide information for Saturday below. Good footwear is essential and rubber boots are always a good idea. A word to the wise; always have a light rain jacket with you!

If you use Facebook, please join ‘Bull Island Action Group 2012’. It would be great if you could share this event on your wall too. 

Thanks!
