Celebrate the start of 'Love Parks Week' by joining our Clean-up & Litter pick in Eastfield Park (Northampton): 10.00 am to 12 noon on Saturday, 13th July. We will concentrate on wooded areas and around the Lake, areas often overlooked by contracted litter pickers. Tools and protective gloves provided. Children welcome if accompanied by a responsible adult. Meet just inside the Skiddaw Walk entrance to the Park. See us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/3102098063148825/. A smaller group than usual helped clean up the Park at the start of 'Love Parks Week': just ten adults and four children plus Clayton, a Park Ranger, who helped us set up and pack away, and one other FoEP member who did an hour's litter picking on the Friday. Together, this represents over 21 hours of community effort (>16 adult hours and >5 child hours).
We collected 8 sacks of non-recyclable materials (black) and 5 sacks of mainly bottles and cans for potential recycling (white) plus the inevitable shopping trolley! As usual, the sacks were piled up at the Skiddaw Walk entrance for collection by Veolia on Monday..

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?
