Community litter pick

20 Springfield,Thringstone,Coalville,LE67 8LT

24 Oct 2014

23:00

Meet at 10am on The Green and help us keep the village looking nice and clear of litter and debris. All welcome. Sticks, gloves and bags provided. 14 of us went round litter picking today and did very well with our collection of 11 big bags of stuff, all collected by members of our group, despite the fact that we also litter pick daily in our village. Having more people doing a litter pick works well, as you can cover more ground more quickly..

Tetford Volunteer Group
Our first litter pick took place in November 2016. People stopped their cars & asked how to get involved, more have joined since. We live in a beautiful area & want to get rid of the litter which spoils the countryside. 6 Local businesses & 2 village residents have sponsored us & we now all have our own equipment (not borrowed from the District Council) Our hi-vis vests have a litter picking logo on the back & the Sponsor's name on the front. Our Parish Council support us by insuring us and a local garage has offered assistance.
