What we’re about
This is a fun and social group dedicated to cleaning up the Royal Canal. The Royal Canal Way and towpath is a great public amenity in Dublin City, and we want to make it even better! Our aim is to get a group of concerned citizens together to come out and tidy up the space once a month (the second Saturday of every month). The clean-up was initiated by Dublin City North Volunteer Centre, in collaboration with a committee of volunteers. Thank you to Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, Waterways Ireland, and Inland Waterways Association of Ireland for their support. For more information, please email royalcanalcleanup@gmail.com

Meeting the second Saturday of every month at 5 different starting points.
We clean up along the canal's edge, towpath & surrounding areas, from Spencer Dock all the way out to Clonsilla and beyond.
We also have a small, but growing group of kayakers, who clean up on the canal itself. It's really satisfying getting that hard-to-reach stuff!
So if you're into kayaking please contact Nessa at royalcanalcleanup@gmail.comIt's completely up to you how long you clean for, but generally, we work for about 2-3 hours.
Various Starting Times:
10am - North Strand, Charleville Mall, 1st Lock Keepers Cottage here
10am - 6th Lock (near Crossguns Bridge) at our container here
10am - Ashtown Canoe Club here
11am - Castleknock Train Station here
2pm - Clonsilla Train Station here
All the equipment you need will be provided...
Gloves, bags, high viz vests and litter-pickers etc.Depending on the location some of us gather for tea/coffee afterwards in various coffee shops along the route. It's nice to get to re-group and chat further.
Hope to see you soon,
