Rush is stepping up for a cleaner future with the Fingal Reusable Cup Campaign, launching in local cafés on Saturday, 17th May. In partnership with Vytal and supported by Fingal County Council, the scheme offers free-to-borrow reusable cups—just return them within 14 days.

We were delighted with the warm response from the community during our information morning on Saturday, 10th May! Huge thanks to all the volunteers, and to VOICE, Vytal, and Fingal County Council representatives for making it possible.

Look out for posters in local businesses and join us in making Rush a compostable cup-free town. Bring your own cup, sit in, or borrow a Vytal cup—simple, free, and better for the planet.

Love your Dog, Love Rush, Bag it, Bin it! : Tackling Dog Fouling in Rush
Dog fouling is one of the most common concerns raised by residents in Rush. While most dog owners clean up after their pets, a small minority are leaving a mess on our footpaths—and it’s affecting everyone.

To help raise awareness and offer a simple solution, Rush Tidy Towns recently took to Main Street, handing out free dog poop bag dispensers and bags to local dog walkers. A big thanks to Fingal County Council for supporting this initiative.

Dog waste isn’t just unpleasant—it’s a health risk, particularly for children. It can spread harmful parasites and bacteria, and pollutes our shared spaces.
Let’s all work together for a cleaner, safer Rush.
Love your Dog. Love Rush. Bag it. Bin it.
Rush Tidy Towns Needs You!

Rush is looking fantastic thanks to the hard work of Rush Tidy Towns volunteers, and there’s always more to be done. We need YOU to help keep it shining!

From repainting bollards and cleaning road signs to planting flowers and tackling weeds, volunteers have been busy across different areas of Rush. We invite all residents and businesses to get involved, take pride in our town, and help us impress the judges for both the Best Kept Town and Tidy Towns competitions.
Whether it’s picking up litter, clearing a mess, hanging flower baskets, or ensuring your area stays tidy, every action counts. Let’s work together to make Rush a place we’re all proud of.

Rush Tidy Towns needs you—let’s make our town shine!
