Nigello Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 HIya - I pick up a fair bit of litter (cans and bottles mainly) along the side of Colyton Road, park side, especially nearer to the girls' school. Some of it is hidden by bushes, etc. I don't have a picker-upper so only touch the surface so maybe the hard to reach ones are for you and your volunteers!

Nigello Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 They're a good idea, Annie5, but please adopt a DIY attitude if you are keen to help. Just picking up the odd can or bottle and putting it in a recycling bin yourself whilst on your daily walk or errands can make a big difference. I often pick up 7 or 8 items on a typical morning walk, mainly cans and plastic bottles (Lucozade and various lager brands feature most).

rachp Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Totally agree Nigello, I take a bag out about three times a week and manage to fill it each time on the same ten minute walk. The number of people who think it's ok to just chuck stuff on the floor is quite shocking.

Nigello Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I think it could be just a small number who habitually litter and make a god-awful mess. I see people of all types using bins yet very few people dropping. Does it come from cars? (I have seen some people take out nappies and litter from cars and dump it in the gutter. One who did this got very sharp shrift and took it back!)
