Assistance is given to the groups in the form of the Tidy Towns Grants, Summer Wheelie Bin Scheme, participation in Clean Up Laois Week, the Laois Federation of Tidy Towns Competition and Awards. The Environment Section also offers assistance in the form of advice or referral to the most appropriate source of information.
