Kinvara Tidy Towns: Love this place, love Kinvara and leave no trace. You can show this through a regular two minute clean when out and about in the village. Another great way is when out walking or jogging, why not join Tidy Towns and become a litter picker in your own time?  We can provide you with a litter picker, gloves and show you where to put waste. Why not contact us on our Facebook, Instagram page or by texting Hilda on 086 8584533 to become a litter picker. February marks the start of spring, your help would really add to our village looking its best all year round. Thank you Kinvara Tidy Towns.
