Month: November 2022

Massive thank you to the 30 litter picking heroes that joined us at our Two Hour Tidy Up in Castlefields Park and around the surrounding streets this morning. All together we filled 36 bags with litter, plus retrieved a piece of tarpaulin, a scooter, a shopping trolley, three gas bottles and a baby walker!

Thank you to Tricia and John, Craig, Emma and Billy, Jane and Robert, Jonathan, Freddie, Judy, Victoria, David, Jessica, Euan abd Evan, Pretty and Mohapi, Marion, Anthony, Hazel and Glenn, Chris, and Wa, Jordanna, Karen, Petrina, Mia, Keira and Ben, and Jess. Great to see so many families out today, thank you all!

Our next group Two Hour Tidy Up will be on the last Saturday of January, but we do have Tuesday Tidy Ups every week 2-6pm at ECO HUB Glamis Hall. Litter pickers and hoops provided, plus get your bags for free. Do join us if you can.

This month’s Two Hour Tidy Up takes place on Saturday morning (26th November) and we are litter picking Castlefields and the surrounding streets. We will set up a recycling station at the Irthlingborough Road entrance to the park from 9:30 to litter pick between 10am-12 midday. There will be tea and coffee available for all!

This location has been chosen because Wellingborough Town Council are planting 31 of our trees in the park at 11am on the following Wednesday. As a group we have tidied up this area before, but unfortunately, it’s messy again so there’s plenty to do.

To help us and keep us safe at this and future litter picks, Wellingborough Eco Group have purchased some litter pickers, hi-vis vests and safety equipment including road signs, so everything is provided but please bring your own gloves if you can.

North Northants Council will take away the litter we pick, hand sanitiser will be available. We will be joined by Wellie Wombles and many other volunteers, so do join in, bring your friends and family, ALL WELCOME!
