By Bus: Take the Route 130 bus from Lower Abbey Street. 

Bus Stop: Get off at the Wooden Bridge - ask the bus driver - and then walk for five minutes onto the island.

Duration: Two hours.

Equipment: Litter pickers, bag hoops, rubbish bags, and gloves are provided.

Work areas: The beach, sand dunes, inner shore, and the causeway, if there are enough volunteers.

Dublin City Council provides a tractor and trailer, plus a driver, to remove and dispose of the litter collected. The Dublin Port Company provides litter-picking equipment. 

Please check the weather and tide information for Saturday below. Dress according to the conditions expected but be sure to bring a rain jacket - just in case!. Sturdy footwear and thick socks are essential and rubber boots are always a good idea. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen too!

Try to persuade a friend or a family member to join you. The more volunteers we have, the greater the amount of work that we can do. 

All who participate are invited to Clontarf Yacht & Boat Club for festive hot drinks and mince pies from 1:00p.m.

The Bull Island Action Group would like to thank all those who helped out in 2017.
