Chewing Gum: Litter





Cllr. Tom Doherty put the following motion before the last meeting of Killarney town council, “That this Council seek to eradicate chewing gum from our footpaths”.

Chewing gum is a scourge to those who take pride in the many awards Killarney has received for tidiness and cleanliness. This problem is difficult to manage and a programme of education is needed. Discarded chewing gum is litter. When we carelessly discard chewing gum on our streets, it becomes difficult to remove. This in turn makes our pavements look grubby.

The council will now erect special chew gum drop bins at various locations around town.
