Dumping disgrace: 4,000 tonnes of rubbish removed from uplands
THE Pure Truck is on the road every day, and since Pure was established in 2006 it has now removed over 4,000,000 kg (4,000 tonnes) of rubbish from over 14,800 illegal dumping sites in the Wicklow/Dublin Uplands, with the project processing over 15,900 reports and complaints.
If you were to put all the rubbish that Pure has removed from the uplands into standard household rubbish bags, they would fill over 800,000 bags.
