Litter Pick at Dawsons Hill- looking for volunteers

[rachp]

Hi all

Plastic Free East Dulwich is organising a litter pick at Dawson's Hill on Sunday 11th July at 10 am.

Equipment will be provided so you just need to show up with sunscreen (if it's sunny), water and suitable clothing.

We will meet at the Dunstan's road entrance at 10 am so if you'd like to get involved, we'll see you there.

PM me if you have any questions

Thank you, Rachel. Would be great to see the crowds who regularly congregate on the hill participate en masse to this useful event!

What a great idea. Also, if you?re not into the idea of a group litter pick, please just do your bit when you can to complement this and other very much appreciated organised efforts. Just picking up the odd can or bottle and putting it in the nearest (recycling) bin is worthwhile.

Are there any local litter picks being organised?

Homestall Rd (Colyron Rd Peckham Rye Park - up to Marmora rd Aquarius Golf Club) could really do with a spruce up - lots of wildlife but so much litter - it's disgusting

Hi, we haven't got one scheduled but when we next meet (Plastic Free East Dulwich), I can suggest this area. Are you part of local community groups (street whatsapps etc) so we could promote it and get local residents involved? We have all the equipment so if we can generate some interest in the local area, there's nothing to stop us setting one up.

[MrsR]

Hi Rach I've sent you a pm.

Would love to see Homestall Rd tidied up.

[Nigello]

There?s nothing stopping anyone going solo. The more of the merrier. Just pick what you can and bung it into a nearby bin, or a recycling bin that are handily left out do many pavements! The group idea is also very welcome but don?t underestimate the usefulness of one-human bands.

[rachp]

Totally agree Nigello, I go out most days on my own. I expect some people feel a bit uncomfortable doing it alone so doing it as part of a group gives people the confidence to get involved.

Are there any more litter picks arranged? Would love to help

[rachp]

Hi both , we are planning one for the 31st October so will post details here once it?s confirmed. After that, we are planning to do one on the last Sunday every month at 10am. So if you have suggestion for locations, do let me know!
