  • Parking: Parking restrictions will apply, as the beach is currently closed to traffic
  • By bus: Take the Route 130 bus from Lower Abbey Street
  • Bus stop: Get off at the Wooden Bridge and then walk for 5 minutes
  • Duration of clean-up: Two hours
  • Equipment: Litter pickers, hoops, gloves and rubbish bags are provided
  • Work areas: The beach, sand dunes, inner shore and causeway

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!

The Bull Island Action Group would also like to mention Pete and Laura who have been cleaning the beach from the causeway to Sutton. This has been an ongoing labour for the past four months. Fantastic work and well done to you both!

Please see the expected weather and tide information for Saturday below. Don't forget to wrap up well and to bring a rain jacket with you. Good footwear is essential and rubber boots are always a good idea.

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!
