The aim is to collect litter from around the village and tray to involve the community in moving ourselves towards a plastic free community. This is being run by PAP as part of their initiatives. Starting in the Red Lion pub who are supplying breakfast to all involved (tea, coffee, bacon and pastries) we aim to divide into teams and clean up the whole village. A really successful morning. It started with bacon and pastries at the Red Lion pub and then we divided into seven teams covering all the areas of Pickmere. About 50 volunteers attended and collected 26 bin bags of rubbish and a vacuum cleaner. Finishing off with another cut of tea at the pub. Thanks to all who got involved from Sam at the Red lion and his team to the families and friends of the village who gave up their morning to improve their village environment..

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?
