Greenway Litter Pick

London,E14 2BG

20 Mar 2011

00:00

Olympic litter pickers wanted. Fancy throwing some moves near the Olympic Park? On Sunday 20th March Beautiful Boroughs Eastside is organizing a litter pick on and near the Greenway, the footpath and cycle way that runs alongside the Olympic Park. Meet 11.00am at the entrance to the Greenway at Wick Lane in Bow - there's a map link below. Gloves, tabards, litter pickers and bags provided. The event is supported by Keep Britain Tidy and CleanupUK, a charity working in partnership with Tower Hamlets Council and the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to enhance the local area for residents and visitors. We aim to set up regular volunteer activities in the borough to help beautify our streets. Join in and you can find out how to adopt a street, tag a tip or green a garden! For further information on the Greenway litter pick and Beautiful Boroughs Eastside, visit http://litteraction.org.

Harman's Cross About Litter/Worth Picking Up
We are part of the Litter-Free Purbeck Group. Our aim is to tackle the litter problem by engaging the broader community to raise awareness of what can be done, not only by litter-picking activities, but also to deal with the varous sources of the problem at corporate and individual levels.

Keeping Rothwell Clean & Green
Spurred on by the grass verges and parks around our lovely town regularly covered with litter, I decided to do litter picking walks in my free time. I have now formed this group, which is also on Facebook, to encourage others to help. I love where I live and aim to make others proud of their locality, so they think twice before chucking their rubbish. Don’t chuck it, bin it.

Lady Bay Litter Pickers
Lady Bay Litterpickers no longer functions as a group. Instead, individuals are issued with equipment to litterpick an area of Lady Bay of their choice, usually the streets immediately around their home and at times convenient to them. If you would like to be involved in this new style of litterpicking, please get in touch - sian.trafford@ntu.ac.uk . Be assured, however, that our aims are still to keep Lady Bay as one of the best places to live, and to generate pride in our community.

Edenbridge
The aim of this group is to encourage habitual collection of local litter (and organised group collections) and to dispose of it properly (recycling it whenever possible) especially along the River Eden, while trying to set an example for other local residents to follow.

Gamston Litter Pickers
Rubbish disposal and fly tipping is becoming an increasing problem nationally compounded by reduced services across the counties. Many communities are taking it upon themselves to get out and tidy up their local areas by grabbing a bag and a litter picker and spending an hour or so in their immediate local area picking up discarded rubbish. If you are interested in meeting up once a month then please come along on the third Saturday, and together we can make a difference to rubbish and fly tipping in our area. All equipment is provided, including ‘kids kits’ so that children can participate safely too. We meet at 10am at the Gamston Village Hall and are out for a maximum of 2 hours. The monthly litter picking is in Gamston but the equipment is available for all residents of the villages of Adbolton, Bassingfield, Gamston and Holme Pierrepont to use.
