At the West Waterford AC Half Marathon on the Greenway last weekend, Waterford Council funded the water station at the finish line, where reusable cups and water fountains were supplied.

Working with Refill Ireland, tanks of filtered water were provided at the finish line to fill reusable tumblers for all participants. Used tumblers could be placed in dedicated collection bins to allow for reuse at other events. This saved plastic cups for 636 runners being thrown away on the day.
