Start Time: 12:15 for a 12:30 Start until 14:30 This will be our themed event to get spic and span for the festive season. Wear something jolly and bright and come and help litter pick our community! Only a limited number of the following will be provided to those without the right equipment but we strongly urge you to go and purchase a Hi-Vis jacket and gloves ahead of time. If you can bring any of your own equipment this will help a lot: Good Gloves Hi-Vis Jacket Litter picker Bin Liners Any first aid supplies you may need while out A drink to keep hydrated Anything else you see fit for litter picking Comfy shoes and clothing is highly recommended, please dress for the weather.
Please ensure your own safety and others while we are out, if you require insurance, please arrange this yourself but the rules of common sense and being safe apply; don't pick up anything suspicious, sharp, dangerous or heavy and report anything suspicious to local authorities. Please let the event co-coordinator know during or at the end of the event if you have found anything that will need reporting. A hand out will also be given with details on what and who to report waste to. Hope to see you there! If you have any questions, please email cleanupsopwell@outlook.com If you can't make it on the day but would still like to help out by donating, you can make donations in bin liners, litter pickers, hi-vis jackets, gloves or anything else by getting in contact at the email address provided. Thank you! We had a good turnout despite the weather, small bit of rain but that didn't stop us. We collected 12 bags of waste in total, 4 of which were recyclables. This was a good outcome for our last pick of the year with a total of 31 bags for the end of 2017! .
