nicholae   10 #4 Posted April 17, 2018 I have joined already but they only have one event in May so far and not in my area. I hoped to clean up where I live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
smithy266 Â Â 21 #5 Posted April 17, 2018 Just go out and do it! Get a bag, get a litter picker upper, and go pick up litter! That is what I do every week, no hi vis jacket, no gloves, nobody else, just me, a picker upper and a bag. It is quite easy.....

I just use rubber gloves. The council will collect it if you then bag it up. Also the streets ahead app is good. If you photograph the fly tipping or graffiti etc and send it them, they will sort it.  Good on the OP for trying to organise something! I’d stick to social media to recruit volunteers though, I doubt you will get any from here.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Also the streets ahead app is good. If you photograph the fly tipping or graffiti etc and send it them, they will sort it.  I'll give that app a try. I've logged a report about litter in this area, it's an absolute disgrace, particularly around where Wadsley Park Village meets Middlewood road, near the nursery, but nothing's been done yet.  ---------- Post added 18-04-2018 at 11:51 ----------  Hi, I would like to organise a team of people to help pick litter around Middelwood/ Hillsborough area, is anyone interested?

Badlittlepup   10 #9 Posted April 20, 2018 90% of the litter around here is caused by those ridiculous paper recycling boxes with no lid so the paper blows all over the street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
max   13 #10 Posted April 20, 2018 90% of the litter around here is caused by those ridiculous paper recycling boxes with no lid so the paper blows all over the street.  And, statistically, 100% of that litter is caused by people being stupid enough to put litter in boxes with no lids.

steve68 Â Â 66 #12 Posted April 20, 2018 I regularly litter pick up at Hillsborough Park, this morning it was clear people had been enjoying yesterday's sunshine, plenty of picnic rubbish everywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
