Our 19th Pick - 'A Pick Like Almost no Other' - will be organised like the 18th Pick in July. If you plan to pick you must register in advance with the Parish Clerk (see website for details) - please do not just turn up on the day. There will be no use of the Parish Hall, no pre- or post-meet, no car-sharing or picking with other households, and no after-Pick refreshments. Picking Packs - litterpickers, hoops, hi-viz vests, sacks etc - will be delivered to pickers a few days before the event. Pickers must phone the Parish Clerk to say they are setting off, and again to confirm they are finished and back home. Sorting and recycling from 2pm. 21 pickers, almost all picking in single household groups. We collected 29 sacks of litter plus lots of miscellaneous items - including a baby's car seat, two push chairs, and lots of toys. We also found and reported four lots of fly-tipping.
After sorting we recycled 379 drinks cans, 195 plastic bottles, 36 glass bottles/jars, metal, paper and cardboard, plastic trays and lids, and aluminium foil. .

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?
