The Green Picnic will be run over the summer months by Waterford City & County Council and Wexford County Council. The Summer months of June, July and August 2021 will see an increase number of people holidaying at home, taking day trips and visiting all public amenities in our Counties. The Green Picnic campaign asks people to bring their litter home with them and bring reusable items wherever possible. We aim to promote positive and active participation in a campaign that will focus on the theme of reuse and encourage all to take responsibility for their actions and their waste.
