Our next litter pick is on Saturday 18th January on the beach and banks around the St.Germains slipway. Please meet at 10am at the top of the slipway next to St.Germains churchyard. If you arrive later please collect equipment from the top of the slipway and come and find us on the beach. Litter pickers, bags and bag hoops will be provided. Please bring gloves, wear sturdy footwear and dress for the weather. Under 18's are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent/guardian Fantastic turn out today! Thanks to all our volunteers who worked hard to clear the beach of 25 bags of litter plus 3 tyres and 2 Christmas trees. Why would anyone go to the trouble of dragging their Christmas tree down to the beach when the council provide a free collection service?!! Loads of small pieces of plastic today including those pesky cotton bud sticks, washed out to sea through the sewage system and thrown back onto the beach during the recent storms.
Extra big thank you to John who came down on to the beach with his tractor and trailer to collect the rubbish and save us the job of carrying the bags! Also 4 bags collected in between litter picks - thanks Chris!.

These groups are near to you in case you want to contact them for advice, to offer them support or, for example, to share equipment with them.
Here at CleanupUK, we want to help you to take LitterAction! Wherever you live in the UK, forming your own community litter-picking group will help to keep your community safer, more friendly and free of litter. It’s lots of fun too. Why not muck in and join us?
