Whitestone Wombles

Volunteer group litter picking around the West Wylam area of Prudhoe, Northumberland.

I have been litter picking my local area and would love to encourage and help other people to take simular direct action to this blight.

We meet to pick up litter in Morrab Gardens on the 1st Sunday of every month.

We formed to keep the Chorlton Meadows and Ees free of litter, and we are all-party and non-party, united only by our common hatred of litter and environmental damage.

A gathering of volunteers who meet in the painted bus shelter in High Bentham at 1pm on 13th of each month. We spend an hour or so litter-picking, weeding, planting or generally clearing up around our market town. We also put pressure on the Town Council or District Council when we come across something that we need to tackle in partnership with a larger, more official body.

We aim to clear litter from most streets and out to the parish boundaries twice a year.

Litter picking in Epping Forest

I am the sole member of this group so far and would like to recruit other like-minded, local litter-killers. I've armed myself with a litter-picker-upper stick, bought online for a tenner, and I use recycled, plastic, supermarket bags for the collections. I walk around my village on litter-spotting missions every now and then with my fiance and our baby daughter. Good exercise and the lanes look much nicer. 'Hotspots' for litter are the bus shelter and the playing fields. Great feeling of satisfaction too. My aim is to keep our beautiful village 100% litter-free.

Aim to tidy up my surrounding area for the Queens Birthday for the residents, visitors and passers by.

Our local guide unit would like to arrange at least one, if not two litter picking days in our village per year. I would like to know where to get the picker sticks from and vests etc
