Laois GAA Club Cashes In On 70k Return Cans

Killeshin GAA were cleaning up on site in Stradbally all weekend.

A GAA club in Co Laois has made €15,000 after collecting 70,000 empty cans and bottles at Electric Picnic last weekend.

Killeshin GAA Club partnered with the music festival to raise money through the Deposit Return Scheme.

Volunteers from the south Laois club encouraged festival goers to off-load their drinks containers on their way from the campsites to the main arena.

Congratulating the club on social media, Re-turn says the initiative 'shows the power of community and sustainability at Electric Picnic'.
