Volunteer litter pickers

We are aware that there are some public spirited residents who go out and litter pick our public spaces. This is very generous but we would be grateful if you could make yourselves known to us so that we can overcome one of the issues we are having of people dumping collected litter in black bin bags by the bus shelter near the Kingsway.

Sadly SBDC refuse to pick up such bags and will treat them as fly tipping for investigation and possible prosecution. They are unattractive and cause problems for neighbours. However if you would like to carry on volunteering proper arrangements could be made to supply you with bags that will be collected and arrange a mutually convenient time/place for collection.

So please get in touch on 01753 648497 and please stop putting bags by the bus shelter.
