Ardee Tidy Towns Decry Rubbish Dumping Amid Clean-Up Campaign

Ardee Tidy Towns: “This Is Not Acceptable”
Volunteers from Ardee Tidy Towns issued a stark warning this morning after discovering a pile of household rubbish dumped beside a public bin at the bus stop on Drogheda Road near Lidl. In a strongly worded statement, the group emphasised:
“Public bins are not for household rubbish and this is not acceptable.”
The dumping came at a particularly critical time as we undergo judgements for the Tidy Towns competition, Louth in Bloom, and Louth Looking Good.
Ardee Tidy Towns Volunteers Left Disheartened
Putting countless hours into beautifying the town, volunteers describe the incident as “soul destroying.” Their mission to maintain the town’s appeal is running up against avoidable illegal dumping—which risks undermining community efforts and harming their chances in these major civic initiatives.
Ardee Community Appeal
Residents are urged to:
- Dispose of household waste through proper means—trash collection or local civic amenity sites.
- Respect public bins, which are strictly for general litter.
- Take pride in Ardee, especially as adjudicators arrive to evaluate its cleanliness and civic spirit.
The group’s appeal reflects a broader call to community responsibility: cooperation is essential for the town’s aesthetic and environmental success.
Why It Matters
Ardee is actively competing for recognition in several regional competitions this summer. A neat, welcoming townscape enhances both local morale and external perception. Conversely, illicit dumping damages the town’s image and the volunteers’ hard work.
Final Word
Ardee Tidy Towns closed their statement with a heartfelt plea:
“Please dispose of your rubbish in the proper manner and take some pride in your town.”
As competitions judge Ardee’s cleanliness, the town’s future recognition and community pride depend on collective vigilance and respect.h enforcement, permits, or potentially pay‑parking.olonged period of economic strain.
