Fishponds Litter Pick March

Bristol,BS16 3TN

30 Mar 2019

00:00

The next litter pick will be on Saturday 30th March, when we are meeting 11am at Straits Parade near the bus stop. Many thanks to those who helped out at this litter pick - we were 8 in all and collected 6 sacks of rubbish and 5 of recycling. Of the more unusual finds, some of us came across a surprising number of gloves in a range of bright colours! They were mostly the medical type, but one of the sort for keeping hands warm..
