THE scenic Mountain
Road between Buncrana and Carndonagh has been left
spick and span thanks to community-spirited
volunteers from the Sliabh Sneacht Centre and
Buncrana Tidy Towns. |

Donegal County Council
litter warden Pearse McCrory praised the effort and
revealed that some 150 bags of rubbish were
collected along the road last Saturday during the
countywide Big Donegal Clean-Up.
"It was a tremendous effort by local people on
terrain that is not easy to access at the best of
times.
“There was all types of stuff collected - from old
tyres, to items thrown out of car windows. It is
shocking to see the amount of recyclable material
dumped when this can be easily recycled free of
charge at one of the Council’s 72 bring banks around
the county," he said. |

Pearse also paid
tribute to Noel O’Donnell the driver of the
council's litter van who spent the afternoon
collecting the rubbish gathered by the volunteers
along the route.
“As always Noel went over and above the call of
duty, making a number of trips to collect all the
rubbish bagged by the volunteers and I would like to
say a special thanks to him for his hard work and
commitment.”
The volunteers were treated to a well-earned cup of
tea and refreshments in the Sliabh Sneacht Centre
following the clean-up. |
