Two sessions: Session 1 - 10.00am to 12 noon; Session 2 - 2.00pm to 4.00pm; come for one or come for both!

A shopping trolley, TV stand, burnt-out motorcycle, garden hose and reel, a sheet of metal, traffic cone, vacuum cleaner, plastic mop bucket, plaster board, tank insulation, waste piping plus 46 bags of assorted litter and other rubbish all removed from Eastfield Park, Northampton, at our Spring Clean on Saturday 4th March (two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon). A BIG 'THANK YOU' TO ALL 23 VOLUNTEERS (19 adults, 2 young teenagers and 2 younger children with their Dad). A JOB WELL DONE!.

DORSET DEVILS
Dorset Devils are a group of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole and beyond residents who volunteer their free time to clear litter from where they live as well as nearby parks and our beautiful beaches. We each look after our own patch and hope to encourage others to manage their own litter. Our voluntary group started in 2013 and we now have 836 + like minded residents onboard and still growing. We want Dorset to be as litter free as possible but that means everyone needs to play their part for this to happen. Fresh air, gentle exercise guaranteed and some equipment available. Do as much or as little picking as you like and choose the time and place suitable for you, eIther on your own, with someone else or with Dorset Devils living nearby. Our USP is solo or family/friends litter picking rather than group organised events or with the public. You are welcome to join us and then you can look after your own patch, wherever and whenever it suits you. Always your choice how long you ‘devil’ around. Help make a difference where you live, play and relax. Bournemouth Borough Council and Bournemouth University fully support us with equipment and encouragement. We link up with local environmental organisations including Wimborne War on Waste, Southbourne Waste Busters and we are part of Litter Free Dorset- land, coast & sea. We are active within the community and get involved in a variety of community initiatives including activities with primary school children and scout packs. We are more than just litter pickers as we hope to raise awareness and engage, wherever possible. Follow us on DD Facebook, Twitter and interact through our brand new website. dorsetdevils.org N.B.
