World Cleanup Day 2020 - Great British Spring/September Clean - Bricket Wood

2 Aspen Close,Bricket Wood,St. Albans,AL2 3UL

18 Sep 2020

23:00

Millions of people around the World will try to make the place a better place to work and live. This event is now combined with the Great British Spring Clean which should have taken place earlier in the year. Map of events: https://www.theskillmill.org/worldcleanupdaymap With COVID-19 a very real concern, our approach to litter picking has had to adapt; we can’t meet as a large group for the time being but we can still litter pick as a household or with a group of up to six people as long social distancing rules are observed. You can contact us at park_street_pickers@yahoo.co.uk if you’d like to receive our COVID-19 Safety Guidance document or if you'd like to borrow some picking equipment such as pickers, gloves, hoops or bags. Please remember to sanitise thoroughly before and after any picking activity.

If do some ‘Lone Ranger’ picking or picking as a small group and you’d like to let us know the details that would be great; if you have any pictures that you’d like to see included in our gallery that would be awesome too. #LitterHeroes, divided but united for a cleaner world! #trashtag #detrashed Our most successful day ever! The Parish Pickers turned out in force and collected 100 bags of litter from Bricket Wood, Park St, How Wood and Chiswell Green a truly amazing amout of litter!.

Triton Road cycle picker
I joined my friend Ryan's group Clean Lincoln Everywhere And Now and we picked the virge and copse along am 800m stretch of Triton Rd in Lincoln. Afterwards I decided to attempt to manage it by litter picking, by bike, on my daily commute to and from work. I also join in with the Sincil Bank River Care team, when I can. I enjoy working in and on the water.

Whitehead Wombles
Whitehead Wombles are a small group of people from the town of Whitehead who got fed up looking at the amount of litter on our streets and hedgerows and decided to do something about it. We only have a few members but we are committed to keeping the level of litter in the town to a minimum and hope that people will see us and think twice about dropping their litter. We are supplied with bags, gloves and pickers by our local council and last Oct we won an award for our coastal care work. Our aim is to educate people in the detrimental effects of littering and to work with as many groups within the town to co ordinate our efforts. We had a community clean up on Sunday 18th Sept 2011as part of the national Beach watch Weekend and received support of local groups and churches so for one day at least we had a litter free town. We lifted over 30 bags and had forty people of all ages turn out to help. This proved so successful that many of those involved wanted to run it on a quarterly basis so we'll see what we can do If anyone wants to set up a group and needs advice then contact us or follow our progress at the Brighter Whitehead site.
