Route Saxon Close, Turchil Road, Cawston Grange Drive, Cave Close Play Area then bridle path around the back of the estate. Rejoined top end of Cawston Grange Drive both sides back to Turchil Road. Nicholas, Saivaran, Nicole, Sunathee and Andy. Total of 3 bags. 1 hours. 40 minutes Route Saxon Close, Turchil Road, Cawston Grange Drive, Cave Close Play Area then bridle path around the back of the estate. Rejoined top end of Cawston Grange Drive both sides back to Turchil Road. ***Dog Poo plastic We found more than 30 bottles beer 🍺 tins 🥫 Milk bottles🥛 fizzy drinks, broken beer bottles, Foam, plastic sheets and cigarettes packets 🚬 but the thing that discuses us and my friends the most was bagged dog 🐕 Poo 💩 in the hedge rows. Would have been better not to have bagged it at all as dog poo is biodegradable.

Lazy people who call themselves animals lovers but destroy environment with plastic bag around estate, when there are waste bins for dogs within easy walking distance is disgraceful. Also having cleared an area of litter its shocking how quickly the litter returns. I think they council should display on the lamp posts the maximum cost for drooping litter as they did back in the 1980s. May make people think twice. .

Coventry Canal
I am an individual who walks part of the Coventry canal to and from work everyday. I have only been walking along the canal since October 2017 despite being a Coventrian my entire life! It is the city's best kept secret and so peaceful and calm away from crowds and cars. But it makes me angry and sad to see such a beautiful habitat ruined with litter so I started picking litter! I usually pick on my way to/from work in the week but I plan to do more at the weekends and travel further to notoriously messy parts of the canal. If anyone would care to join me to make a difference and tidy up for the animals and all of us to enjoy, please get in touch :) Thank you, Jennysha P.S. There is now a new Canal & River Trust Towpath Taskforce which runs on Thursday mornings - please see CRT website for more info. Give as much or as little time as you can :) Please report any flytipping via: 1) website: fixmystreet.com 2) email: enquiries.westmidlands@canalrivertrust.org.uk

Collie Collections
Currently most of the work is done by my Border Collie who collects crisp and other wrappers and plastic bottles. She then finds the nearest waste bin and puts the litter in it. She has been doing this for the past 5 years.

The WolfPack
I would like to focus on the local nature reserve. It is such a wonderful place but unfortunately trash can be found everywhere. I would like to find some wonderful people and together clean this area as it\'s not only a great place to admire nature, go for a run, a hike or walk your dog, but it is also home to a wide range of wildlife species

Falkland Road Litter Pickers
We are taking litter picking in to our own hands. We are fed up with plastic bags and rubbish littering our streets, blowing in to our gardens and spoiling our pavements. We are proud of where we live and want to encourage others to care for our streets as we do. Our vision is for a clean environment for our families and friends. We are an open group and welcome anyone to join.

Ravenfield Rubbish Rascals
We have 26 active litter pickers each one of whom takes responsibility for a stretch of road or an area of green space. We meet occasionally to review tactics and to swop ideas. We have a massive litter pick once a year to shift an area of accumulated rubbish. We have good relations with the Parish Council and the local authority who are great at clearing flytipping when we inform them.
