Brownies Litter pick

Alveston,BS35 3JQ

18 Mar 2010

00:00

The Brownies are having their own litter pick. Litter Busters are really happy to help out, starting with a short talk before hitting the litter. The recent Alveston Brownie litter pick has been deemed a big success. After a talk about the litter problem by Alveston Litter Busters, the 33 young volunteers set to work to tidy up the local area, finishing outside Marlwood school – particular black spot. Despite the rain, 5 bags of litter were collected and the girls even appeared to enjoy themselves ! Thank you Brownies, this is a great contribution to the community and South Gloucestershire Big Spring Clean Campaign. .

Tidy Tavi
Tidy Tavi volunteers meet on the first Saturday each month to pick up litter from the streets and public spaces of the lovely town of Tavistock in Devon. We have been operating since October 2012 and attendance varies from about 18-30 local residents. We do not operate any sort of membership scheme or register. Volunteers simply come along when they can spare some time. This is important because we do not want anyone to feel committed to join in every month, or even for the full 2 hours. We work from 10 AM to midday and frequently fill 30-40 sacks of rubbish that are disposed of by West Devon District Council. Litter pickers, high visibility jackets, rubbish bags and hoops are provided. The group is supported by many local businesses including Tesco, who send some of their staff to help, and the Meadowlands Leisure Centre, where the group meets, who store our equipment for us. Several cafés in Tavistock supply free teas and coffees to volunteers. Critical support is also provided by our local newspaper, the Tavistock Times Gazette, who publish reports and print recruiting posters for the group.
