Carnival Clean Up 2014

2 Eames Orchard,Ilminster,TA19 0BZ

04 Oct 2014

23:00

Collect litter in side streets off main carnival route and on the Recreation ground. Also empty any overflowing bins. Volunteers and Town Councillors collected 20 bags of assorted litter, one bag of glass bottles and one bag of aluminium cans. The bins on the Recreation ground were emptied as were those in the centre of town. Sadly a number of food vendors had failed to take their food waste away. Streetscene did a marvellous job in cleaning the carnival route and removing 47 sacks of waste which included the trade waste left by the food vendors. The 20 bags of litter were left at the wardens' compound for later collection. .

Gamston Litter Pickers
Rubbish disposal and fly tipping is becoming an increasing problem nationally compounded by reduced services across the counties. Many communities are taking it upon themselves to get out and tidy up their local areas by grabbing a bag and a litter picker and spending an hour or so in their immediate local area picking up discarded rubbish. If you are interested in meeting up once a month then please come along on the third Saturday, and together we can make a difference to rubbish and fly tipping in our area. All equipment is provided, including ‘kids kits’ so that children can participate safely too. We meet at 10am at the Gamston Village Hall and are out for a maximum of 2 hours. The monthly litter picking is in Gamston but the equipment is available for all residents of the villages of Adbolton, Bassingfield, Gamston and Holme Pierrepont to use.
