This is our First Event! Start Time: 10:45 for an 11am Start until 1pm (or if you have a bit more time on your hands, I'm happy to stay out longer) We're now fortunate enough to have been kindly donated a number of Hi-Vis Jackets, litter pickers and bags. You can still bring your own to the event if you like. Please make sure you remember to bring the following anyway: Good Gloves 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 and report anything suspicious to local authorities. Litter Picking session starting from Vesta Avenue Parade of shops. Depending on how many volunteers we have there will be a short route, or long route option.
We will decide on the day. I have posted images of both routes. Short route will include Vesta Ave, the alleys running between watling street and watling view, watling view and tavistock ave, tavistock ave itself and the off roads comprising. Long route will be: walking down Watling Street, through the alley to Conningsby Bank and back up Watling view including the side roads. Back round Tavistock avenue. I will make some signs so we can have litter deposit sites and I'll round up the bags to take to the dump at the end of the event. 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.

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.
An important part of our work is with young people. We have met with Junior schools, Brownies and Cubs, and talked about the reduction of litter and recycling.
We liaise with other environmental groups in the area, particularly those with similar aims to ours and we work closely with the local Borough Council.
We have a website:- www.sandbach-cleanteam.co.uk
