Limerick City Centre Tops Litter List

Limerick City Centre has officially been crowned the most littered spot in Ireland, despite a slight improvement from last year — it’s the only area tagged as outright “littered.” Meanwhile, Limerick City South (Galvone) holds a more modest “moderately littered” rating, ranking 37th out of 40 surveyed areas. Only five sites in the city center earned top cleanliness marks, with hotspots like Mount Kenneth Place and Henry Street car park in disarray. Galvone, though showing progress with some top-ranked sites, was dragged down by illegal dumping and burning at Grasslands. Surprisingly, no town or city received the worst labels, with Sligo leading in cleanliness. But the real shocker? Plastic bottles and cans now make up over 20% of litter — the highest since the deposit return scheme began — with coffee cups, fast food wrappers, and cigarette butts also soaring.
